March:- Amidst recent communal
violence in Delhi which claimed precious lives, the two families from Kashmir
and Haryana stood tall and epitomized brotherhood, love, affection and
sacrifice by swapping kidneys to save the lives of their loved ones.
Ifra Jan ( 20) who hails
from Kulgram village near Anantnag showed exemplary courage at this
young age by coming forward to donate her kidney to a man from Yamunanagar
whose wife donated her kidney to Ifra’s mother under swap transplant at
Alchemist Hospital, Panchkula.
Talking to media
during a press conference here on Wednesday, Dr Neeraj Goyal , kidney
transplant surgeon and consultant of urologist at Alchemist said that Zubaida
Bano (47) was suffering from kidney failure for over 2-yr. She was undergoing
regular dialysis at a hospital in Srinagar. However her condition started
deteriorating in the last 1-yr due to need of regular dialysis and required
immediate transplanted.
Dr Neeraj further
informed initially her husband was willing to donate his kidney however on
medical examination he was found unfit for kidney donation. Even their daughter
Ifra was found to be ineligible due to blood group mis-matching with her
mother. He said that there was no other eligible donor in the family with
matching blood group.
Luckily at same time,
Ajay Kumar (33) from Yamunanagar approached Alchemist with severe kidney
problem .His condition was also very critical and required kidney transplant at
the earliest, said Dr Neeraj.
On detailed analysis of
both the patients, it was found that both these patients were fit or eligible
for the paired exchange kidney transplant, which is a legally and medically
viable option. Tissue matching was performed and both the kidneys matched
perfectly to the respective donors, said Dr Neeraj adding after necessary legal
permissions from the respective state authorities of J &K and Haryana the
transplants were performed successfully at Alchemist.
Both patients are now
leading a normal life, said Dr Ramesh Kumar, Sr. consultant nephrology
Ajay’s wife Geeta said
that Ifra came to our life like an angel at a time when her husband required an
urgent kidney transplant.
