SURGEONS at Zhongshan Hospital in Xuhui District recently harvested five organs for donation from a man who died after suffering a serious brain injury in a traffic accident.

The wife of the donor, a 41-year-old migrant worker surnamed Zhang, approved the procedure after it became clear her husband would not regain consciousness, the hospital said yesterday.

He was pronounced dead on June 8 and the organs — his liver, two kidneys and two corneas — were harvested later the same day.
