Dr. Hemant Thatte developed a solution to preserve organs

NRI Dr. Hemant Thatte developed a 21-chemical solution named SOMAH Solution on 20 February 2014. The solution could preserve a donated organ for up to a week before a transplant. SOMAH Solution in Sanskrit means elixir of immortality. At present, hearts and lungs need to be transplanted within 4-6 hours of being recovered from a brain-dead donor, the liver within eight hours and kidneys within a little more than 24 hours.

The biggest advantage of SOMAH is that it can be used at room temperatures.

Dr. Hemant Thatte is a senior cardiovascular surgeon at Harvard University.
