Fulfilling father's wish to donate corneas

NDO - Fulfilling the last wish of his father, Mr. PVĐ, who passed away at 6:30 a.m., Mr. PVK informed the Tissue Bank, Hanoi Eye Hospital 2 of his wish to donate his father's cornea to bring light to others.

Upon receiving the information, Hanoi Eye Hospital 2 urgently mobilized human resources and equipment to move as quickly as possible to the site. The most important goal remains the same as always: to collect corneas as soon as possible, to ensure the best possible quality.

In the most emotional moments when the doctors were preparing to remove Mr. D's cornea, PVK, his second son, who due to a previous accident now only has one arm, confided that because he had lost a part of his body, he understood the feelings of those who could not see. "My father is gone, so I still want to give something. They need help more than me. The eyes are the windows to the soul, they see, they feel...", K. expressed.

It is known that Mr. K. is a painter. He makes a living by painting landscapes and portraits. And all of those jobs that require dexterity, talent, and sophistication are performed by him with only his left arm. His right arm was lost in an accident 12 years ago. Of the four siblings in the family, except for the youngest who is still in school, the rest are doing jobs that serve art.

After the family's spirits had stabilized and a few small rituals in accordance with local customs had been completed, the medical staff officially began the collection process. Holding back their grief, the family handed over the box containing his cornea to the representative of the Tissue Bank, Hanoi Eye Hospital 2.

Mrs. TTN, Mr. PVĐ's wife, tearfully said: "Our family has known about stories of donations like this. When my husband passed away, people also said that there were many families who donated, who helped people who could not see. We also want to help people see."
