Brain dead youngster donates 9 organs to save 7 people

Recently, within a single day, Kunming No. 1 People’s Hospital carried out organ donation operations for three people and transplant operations for 15 others. Among these, a 16-year-old youngster set the record in Yunnan for the number of organs donated from one person.

On February 25, 16-year-old Yunyun (a pseudonym) was diagnosed with a serious head injury because of a major traffic accident. He died of brain failure.

After hearing the sad news, Yunyun’s parents were grieved to point of death. After careful consideration, Yunyun’s parents said to the doctors that they were willing to donate their son’s useful organs to those in need. “No one has advised us to donate, but as a matter of fact we often see such propaganda in hospitals. I once thought, ‘when I pass away, I will also donate my organs’. But we never thought...” Yunyun’s mother could not continue while choking with sob.

In the Registration Form for Human Organ Donation of the Chinese People, our reporter read that this 16-year-old child donated nine organs and tissues after the confirmation of death. On the Registration Form, there are the red fingerprints of Yunyun’s parents.

Recently, Yunyun’s organ-harvesting operation was performed smoothly at Kunming No. 1 People’s Hospital. The nine organs and tissues set the record for the number of organs donated by a single person. The transplanted organs will give five patients new lives and help two patients restore their eyesight.
