6-year-old girl’s organs give new lease of life to 5 people

Chitradurga, Mar 28: Six-year-old Janahvi T, one of the youngest donors, has given a new lease of life to five people.

After she was declared brain-dead, her parents consented to donate Janahvi's organs to the critically ill, saving lives of five people.

A native of Chitradurga, the girl's heart was successfully transplanted to a 9-year-old boy from Vishakapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh.

Her father Tippeswamy, who is still in shock, said that he does not believe that his daughter is no more. "She was a very active girl, just a month ago she complained of stomach pain and had frequent giddiness. When she was unable to even write in her books, we decided to take her to the hospital for a thorough check up," he said.

Janahvi's parents had taken her to a private hospital in Chitradurga first, but her ailment could not be detected there. Later, she was taken to another private hospital in Mangaluru where she was diagnosed with a tumour in the brain.

It was his daughter's liveliness and spontaneous conversations with the doctors that confused them, Tippeswamy said. The doctors had initially thought there were no health issues with Janahvi. However, they found a tumour in her brain after conducting an MRI.

The private hospital later referred her to Father Muller hospital in Mangaluru, where she was operated on for nearly 14 hours to remove the tumour and its water content from the brain. Before the operation, however, the doctors had informed Janahvi's parents of the risk involved and the chances of survival.

Tippeswamy said that after the surgery Janahvi was mostly in a state of coma. She, however, had faintly opened her eyes and made some movements. But later the doctors told the parents that she was brain-dead.

The hospital staff, including coordinators from Jeevasarthakathe, a government agency which facilitates organ transplants, visited Janahvi's parents in the hospital and requested them to donate her organs.

Realising the finality of her condition, Janahvi's parents consented to donate her organs. Besides her heart and eyes, they donated her kidneys to two adult recipients, and her liver to a 9-year-old child. Her father, though heart-broken, feels happy that his daughter is alive through others.

I got Rs 12 lakh to help terrorists to carry out R-Day terror attack: DSP Davinder Singh

coastaldigest.com news network

January 14,2020

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.

There is 2 side for Terrorism, none have dare to attack or bombing unless there is hand from IB, Police and Intelligence (Also RSS support). Frequent bombings or terror attacks was stopped when Hemant Karkare emerged as true officer.

‘No pvt hospital in Karnataka can turn away patients irrespective of covid status’

News Network

August 6,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.
