Statewide taxi service plays a crucial role in organ donation

The service significantly enhanced the coordination and management of the various activities involved in the donation. It was only this year that K-SOTTO empanelled the logistics provider to supply vehicles as required, setting a promising precedent for future initiatives.

The recent organ donation followed the death of a 35-year-old IT professional Jai Jayakumar, whose organs helped save multiple lives. Six organs — including the heart, liver, two kidneys and both corneas — were harvested from Ms. Jayakumar who was declared brain-dead while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Thiruvananthapuram.
