KOCHI: VGuard Industries managing director Kochouseph Chittilappilly's deed of donating his kidney has given a new lease of life to Joy Ulahannan, who had been suffering from endlife renal failure. The surgery was done by a team of doctors led by urologist Dr George Abraham and nephrologist Dr Aby Abraham on Wednesday. The kidney was transferred to Joy, whose wife donated her kidney to another.
Fr Davis Chiramal, whose act of donation inspired Kochouseph, said that in all, six persons will receive kidneys from the kidney bank which was inaugurated recently by Kochouseph, by donating his kidney.
Following this act of goodness, many are coming forward to donate their kidneys to help not just their relatives, but strangers as well.
Both the patients are well and are in the postoperative ICU.
