Hospital Sungai Buloh paid tribute to a late corneal tissue donor by lighting up its premises in green, honouring a final act of kindness that could help improve the lives of others.
The hospital shared that the tribute was held following the death of Mr Satar, who reportedly passed away in a road accident while on his way to a mosque.
Despite the loss, his family made the decision to donate his corneal tissue, giving hope to those waiting for a chance to restore their vision.
Hospital staff line corridors to pay final respects
In a Facebook post, Hospital Sungai Buloh shared photos showing healthcare workers standing along the hospital corridors as a mark of respect.
The hospital was also illuminated in green, a symbolic gesture to remember the meaningful contribution made by the late donor.
The tribute served as a reminder of how organ and tissue donation can continue someone’s legacy even after they are gone.
Family turns grief into hope for others
Amid their grief, Mr Satar’s family chose to give others a second chance through corneal tissue donation.
Corneal donation allows patients with certain eye conditions to potentially regain their sight through transplantation.
The hospital’s tribute highlighted how one person’s final gift could bring hope to others, while also recognising the compassion of families who make the decision to donate during one of their most difficult moments.
Many netizens also praised the family’s decision and expressed appreciation towards healthcare workers involved in caring for patients and facilitating such donations.
