The first deceased donor liver transplantation in the public sector which took place at Kottayam Government Medical College Hospital (MCH) on April 25 has been hailed as a success, with the organ recipient leaving the hospital on Saturday after making a full recovery.
The 52-year-old organ recipient, Sujatha, a native of Wayanad, had received the liver from 23-year-old Kailasnath, who had died three weeks ago.
This is the first deceased donor liver transplantation in a government hospital in the State, while living donor liver transplant surgeries have been successfully completed at Kottayam and Thiruvananthapuram Government Medical College Hospitals.
