Although Swarna was admitted to the ICU of Columbia Asia Hospital in Bangalore, she did not respond to any treatment.

It was Swarna's parents, who decided to donate her vital organs after the 19-year-old girl who sustained head injuries after she fell from the second floor of her college building, was declared brain dead.

Hemalatha, the mother of Swarna said that donating Swarna's organs was the only way she could see her daughter alive. “It is hard to believe that my daughter, who grew up before my eyes, is no more,” she said and added: "When the doctors revealed us that Swarna is brain dead, we decided to donate her organs".

Swarna's father, Jaswanth, is an automobile spare parts dealer in Mangalore. Hemalatha, used to visit Swarna once a fortnight by travelling from Mangalore.

“Since the journey was difficult, I had decided to shift to Bangalore and taken a house on rent in Yelahanka in November to stay with my beloved daughter”, she said struggling to fight back her tears.

Mangaluru, Mar 10: Tension prevailed in the city after an international flyer quarantined at the District Wenlock Hospital walked out of the facility.

The passenger, with a recent travel history to high-risk countries, refused to cooperate with health officials. The day-long drama ended when the district administration intervened and the flyer agreed to get himself re-admitted.

Deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said the passenger had fever and was sent to an isolation ward. “The passenger is cooperating with the treatment and samples have been collected for testing,” she said. The samples will be sent to a testing centre in Bengaluru.

Sources told  that rude behaviour by staff at Mangalore International Airport may have angered the passenger and he walked out of the quarantine facility.

She said if passengers show reluctance to be screened, they should first be counselled and allowed to get themselves admitted to a hospital of their choice with quarantine facility. If they still refuse to cooperate, they will have to be hospitalised forcefully, she added.
