Lunda Kayumba, a 2-year-old child from Kenya, fondly called 'Prosper', has created history in India even after his death. In a time of grief, his parents took a decision that saved people's lives.

Kenyan Boy 'Prosper' Becomes Youngest Pancreatic Donor In India: Organ donation is a very important step towards saving people's lives, some people donate organs while alive, while others become immortal in people's hearts forever by doing this good deed after death. Sometimes even world records are made for organ donation. A similar case came to light in Chandigarh, one of the most beautiful cities of India, which is being praised everywhere.

Late 'Prosper' gave new life

2-year-old late child 'Prosper' became the world's youngest pancreatic donor in PGIMER hospital, Chandigarh. The real name of the child is Lunda Kayumba. Because of him, 2 kidney failure patients got a new life. One patient was given a simultaneous transplant of pancreas and kidney and the other was given a kidney transplant. 

Prosper's family took the selfless decision of donating their son's organs, which also gave the gift of 'eyesight' to 2 more people. In this way, the generosity of Lunda Kayumba's family gave new hopes to the lives of 4 people. This was the first case of international organ donation at PGIMER, Chandigarh.

In the midst of their own pain, Prosper's family took a difficult but brave decision to bring light into the lives of others. Expressing his deep condolences, Prof. Vivek Lal, Director of PGIMER, said, "This case highlights the importance of organ donation. It is very sad to lose a life at such a young age, but this decision of Prosper's family gives us a unique example of kindness and service, which can give the gift of life to others even in moments of despair."

Life was lost in an accident

On October 17, Prosper was seriously injured in an accident and was rushed to PGIMER, but was declared brain-dead on October 26. Despite deep grief, Prosper’s family decided to donate his organs, making him the youngest pancreas donor in the country.

"My heart is broken, but I am still at peace"

Jacqueline Diary, mother of the deceased child Prosper, said, "We are heartbroken, but we are comforted by the fact that our son's organs will give new life to others. In this way we can keep his memories alive and give hope to others."

4 people got hope of living

PGIMER Medical Superintendent Prof Vipin Koushal said that after getting the necessary clearance from the Kenya High Commission, the PGIMER team transplanted pancreas and kidney together in one patient, while the other patient was given a kidney. Apart from this, donation of cornea from Prosper's eyes will enable 2 other people to see again, which has brought a big change in the lives of 4 people.
