In a series of surgeries
spaced over a week, doctors at Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre
(IKDRC) performed six kidney swaps as part of a domino kidney transplant
process involving six families. According to the centre, this is the first time
six non-simultaneous kidney swaps have been performed in the country. All the
patients are reportedly responding well to the transplants.
Interestingly, the
donor-recipient sets came from two Muslim families and four Hindu families,
confirming the belief that humanity and life transcends boundaries of religion.
