Nagpur: A retired teacher, who died of a severe injury in an accident on the road, on Monday gave a new lease of life to three patients and vision into two.
Dairand Sahare, who retired from Kisan Vidyalaya in the Gadchiroli district as a senior teacher, met with an accident near Armori (Gadchiroli).
His son Piyush also suffered an injury to the accident.
While Piyush was treated at GMCH, Nagpur, Dairand shifted to the Institute of Medical Sciences Vidarbha (VIMS), Kampee Road.
Apart from all the treatment, his condition deteriorated neurologically, and he was declared dead on Sunday.
After counseling from Dr.

Piyush also gave his approval and attended the ‘honor corridor’ made for his father who had died at the VIMS Hospital.
The kidneys, liver and eyes are donated to patients who need it in the city.
One of the kidneys was transplanted at a 17-year-old girl at a new era hospital.
Dr.
Vibhavari Dani, the President of the Zonal Transplant Coordination Center (ZTCC) Nagpur, said that the family had agreed to donate hearts too.

A team of doctors from Chennai examined the heart here, they felt unworthy for transplants,” said Dr.
