Idukki: Omana, the mother of Ebin (18) who died, wants an inquiry into the brain death at Ernakulam Lakeshore Hospital. Omana added that she was afraid that her son had been given to Kuruti for organ donation. He is now more sad than when his son died. She said that she did not suspect the hospital’s action that day.

‘The baby will not survive. The operation and affairs will not be successful. Sugar and pressure remain low. He said that he needed about four lakh rupees. We have come to know that the company is willing to pay for the operation. But the pressure and sugar are not normal, so they talked to me in the case that the operation is not possible. He said that the baby would die once the ventilator was taken off. My sister’s baby is going to die anyway, so I asked if I can donate (organs). If my baby is going to die, someone should save me so I can see them, so I told them to donate. After that he came with pen and paper and asked to sign. The baby died the next day. He is buried in Aramana Church. There was no doubt then. I never thought that my baby died because of lack of treatment. But today I feel more distressed than then. I did it (and signed the consent form for organ donation) when I was told that it could not be saved after giving all the treatment. We should not completely trust any hospitalist. No mother should fall for this scam. I have lost my smartest son’, Omana responded to Mathrubhumi News.

The court on Tuesday ordered summons to be sent against Lakeshore Hospital and eight doctors in the complaint related to Eb’s brain death. The Ernakulam Judicial First Class Magistrate Court ordered summons against the hospital and the doctors, judging that there is a prima facie case. The case was heard by Judicial First Class Magistrate Eldos Mathew.

The relevant incident took place on November 29, 2009. AB, who was injured in the car accident, was first admitted to a hospital in Kothamangalam and then to a hospital in Ernakulam. Authorities said he was brain dead on December 1. The kidney and liver were transplanted into another person. A native of Kollam pointed out that the hospital authorities failed to provide the necessary treatment to AB. S. Ganapathi filed the complaint. The complainant states that the hospitals where the young man was admitted did not receive the necessary treatment. The complaint also states that the youth’s organ was transplanted to a foreign national in violation of the law.
