Bengaluru: Harish Nanjappa, the 23-year-old braveheart, who donated his eyes despite laying in pool of blood after being cut into two halves in a road mishap in Bengaluru has inspired many. However, now he will live on as the state government has decided to bring in a cashless treatment plan for road mishap victims in his name.

Health Minister U T Khader, on Saturday, told reporters that the new scheme – Mukhyamantrigala Santwana – was supposed to be launched on March 8 and has been named after Harish.

Harish’s move of donating his organs as he fought for life has surely sparked a sense of Organ Donation Movement. Several hundreds of people from his native village had come forward to pledge their eyes during the last rites of Harish.

Under the scheme, Khader said that accident victims are entitled to immediate cashless treatment at hospitals for up to 48 hours, with a cap of Rs 25,000. It covers victims across the state irrespective of financial status and nationality. They can avail treatment from a set of 25 treatment and acnillary packages.

Toll-free numbers – ‘108’ and ‘104’ – have also been launched to report accidents.

Treatment can be availed for simple injuries, complicated facial injuries, fractures, head injuries, burns-related injuries, blood transfusion, among others. Participating hospitals have been categorised as level 1, 2 and 3 trauma centres based on the facilities available.
