The organs of a brain-dead man transported from KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital in Belagavi through a green corridor to Hubbbali and Dharwad and Bengaluru have given a new lease of life to six people in all.

The organs of Umesh Basavanna Dandagi (51), who was declared brain dead after he suffered a fall at home and brought to KLE Hospital in Belagavi, have now been successfully transplanted in four people and doctors have thanked the family members of Mr. Dandagi for consenting to organ donation.
