Kochi: The Aster DM Healthcare Group hospitals in Kerala, after successfully completing 1,000 kidney transplants, have decided to offer low-cost kidney transplant surgery for children from economically backward households and special discounted kidney transplant surgeries for adults.
This will be available at Aster Medcity, Aster Mims Calicut, and Aster Mims Kottakkal hospitals. The initiative is part of the observance of World Kidney Day (March 10).
“Low-cost surgeries are being realized in collaboration with the Aster DM Foundation, Aster Mims Charitable Trust, other voluntary organizations and global crowdfunding institutions,” said Farhan Yasin, Kerala Cluster & Oman regional director, Aster DM Healthcare.
In addition, Aster hospitals will also associate with Hope Registry, headed by Fr Davis Chirammal. “For those who need a kidney transplant and have someone to donate a kidney but the donor kidney may not be suitable, Hope Registry seeks to enable swap transplant recipients to find suitable donor facing the same situation. This is the first time in Kerala that such a registration system has been made a reality,” said Dr Javad, administrator of Hope Registry.
