  "account": "On October 3, Sibu Hospital illuminated its building in green to honor Madam SK, the hospital's first solid organ donor in seven years. Madam SK, a 55-year-old female teacher, donated her kidneys and corneas on October 2, 2026, saving lives and restoring sight for strangers. The hospital recognized the selflessness of the deceased woman, describing her as a loving wife, caring mother, and lifelong educator. By becoming an organ donor, Madam SK gave her kidneys and corneas to complete strangers, marking the first solid organ donation at the hospital since 2019. The hospital also thanked the donor's family for their heroism in making such a compassionate decision during grief and hardship. In 2017 and 2022, the hospital had also carried out cornea tissue donations, making this the fourth organ donation at Sibu Hospital. Anaesthesia Sibu, a separate entity, highlighted the extensive teamwork required for organ donation, noting the involvement of various hospital departments, support staff, and external medical professionals. They expressed gratitude to law enforcement agencies and airline transport services for their swift coordination to ensure the successful transportation of the organs from Sibu to the Klang Valley. Photos showed hospital staff lining up in tribute for the donor and her family during the organ donation procedure.",
