A kidney transplant swap recently brought together Satish and Ashalata Sapkale, and Farzana and Nadeem Inhonvi.
Each woman was willing to donate a kidney to her husband but was not a match. They signed up for a paired donation list at their transplant center in India, and doctors began working out a kidney swap: Ashalata would donate a kidney to Nadeem, and in exchange, Farzana would give a kidney to Satish.
“It’s great to see how four people can come together and help save two lives. We are lucky we found a match and my brother could get a new kidney. We were just two families who could help each other, differences of religion were never on either of our minds,” said Satish’s brother Uday Sapkale, 38.
Great news. Congratulations to all!
