Srinagar, Feb 15: Livasa Hospitals, a NABH-accredited healthcare network, hosted a press conference in Srinagar, to highlight the remarkable post-transplant recovery of Manzoor Ahmad, a patient from Srinagar. Eight years ago, Manzoor underwent a life-saving kidney transplant at Livasa Hospital in Mohali, and his successful recovery continues to inspire hope for many.
According to the reports, Dr. Raka Kaushal, Senior Director of Nephrology and Renal Transplant, and Dr. Avinash Srivastava, Senior Director of Urology and Kidney Transplant Surgery, shared the details of Manzoor’s inspiring journey and the hospital's commitment to post-transplant care.
In November 2018, Manzoor Ahmad was admitted to Livasa Hospitals in critical condition, struggling with severe kidney failure and undergoing dialysis. His mother, a devoted donor, was found to be a perfect match for a kidney transplant. In January 2019, the surgery was successfully performed, marking the start of Manzoor's incredible recovery. Today, eight years later, Manzoor continues to live a full and active life, serving as a testament to the effectiveness of kidney transplants and expert medical care.
Reflecting on his case, Dr. Avinash Srivastava said, "Manzoor's recovery is a powerful example of the lasting success of our kidney transplant program. At Livasa Hospitals, we ensure that patients not only have successful surgeries but also receive long-term, compassionate care that supports their health well into the future."
During the press conference, Dr. Raka Kaushal also addressed the growing prevalence of kidney disease in Kashmir. She stated, "High blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney stones are the primary reasons behind kidney disease in Kashmir. It is essential for people in the region to understand the importance of early detection and proactive care to prevent the progression of kidney-related conditions."
Livasa Hospitals has reached a significant milestone of 1206 successful kidney transplant surgeries at its Mohali unit, further solidifying its position as a leader in kidney care. The hospital’s specialized care continues to improve the quality of life for patients undergoing kidney transplants and those receiving long-term care.
