Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan bereaved

New Delhi: Union Health and Science Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan’s mother Snehlata Devi passed away yesterday following a cardiac arrest. She was 89.

Though she was rushed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after she collapsed suddenly, she could not be revived and breathed her last at 8.50 am.

Since his mother’s advanced age made her unfit for donating other organs, Dr. Harsh Vardhan donated her body to Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) for scientific research.

“Her body donation would keep inspiring us to live for the society,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
