Anil (name changed) was on the list of recipients for organ transplant in Hyderabad as his kidneys had failed. While on a visit to a nearby place, the 35-year-old received a message about a potential match. He dropped everything and rushed back to Hyderabad only to learn that the donor’s kidneys had an issue. It was so near yet so far for Anil. But for hundreds of desperate patients, functioning organs harvested from cadavers are providing a new lease of life.
Days earlier, Hyderabad witnessed the heart-warming tale of hope when the parents of 14-month-old brain-dead child agreed to donate the kidney. Now, the kidney has given a lease of better life to a 58-year-old woman. The recipient had been undergoing dialysis for about seven years.
