Leeds man stuck in limbo after years waiting for a kidney

A Leeds man has 'lost all of his freedom' because he's been stuck waiting for a kidney for more than three years - and he worries his situation could get worse.

Min Minhaj, 47, was diagnosed with kidney disease over three years ago, and has been on the organ donation list ever since. He works as a civil servant during the day, and spends hours every other evening receiving the kidney dialysis he needs during the day while he waits for a new organ.

Hundreds of people in the Leeds donation area alone are currently waiting for kidney transplants. And for Min and others from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds there's a large inequality that could make their wait even longer.
