18-year-old liver donor becomes Rajasthan's organ ambassador

An 18-year-old girl who donated a portion of her liver to her ailing father has been chosen as Rajasthan's brand ambassador of organ transplant.

Rajasthan health minister Rajendra Rathore met Simran Sharma yesterday and was impressed by the girl who donated nearly 65 per cent of her liver to her father suffering from liver cirrhosis, an official said.
