Two Daughters Donate Kidney and Liver to Save Father

Kathmandu. In a time when their father's life was in danger, two daughters have set a new example in the family and society by becoming 'life-givers'. Sisters from Morata village in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh state of India have donated their organs to save their father's life.

According to Indian media, Jayant Tyagi, a resident of Morata village, is a businessman by profession. He has been unwell for about a year. Three months ago, his stomach problems started to worsen.

Upon examination at the hospital, doctors advised that both Jayant's kidney and liver were not functioning and that these organs needed to be transplanted immediately.

Jayant's family was shocked by the doctors' statement that two major organs of the body had stopped working and needed immediate transplantation. It was also not possible to find two donors for different organs immediately. In such a situation, Jayant's two daughters stood up as life-givers for him.

The elder daughter Rishika, 22, and the younger daughter Khushi, 19, decided to donate one organ each to Jayant. Rishika decided to donate a kidney and Khushi decided to donate a liver for their father Jayant.

Jayant's elder daughter Rishika is already engaged to be married. There was a concern that the groom's side might hesitate for the marriage after learning that Rishika would donate a kidney to her father. As soon as Rishika informed them about this, the groom's family expressed happiness and boosted her morale, it is reported.

According to doctors, the kidney and liver have been transplanted into Jayant's body. Indian media, quoting doctors, reported that Jayant and his younger daughter Khushi are under medical observation in the ICU. The elder daughter Rishika's health condition has become normal.
