“Just when we had given up hope, the nurses called saying I was matched with a cadaver kidney donor (deceased organ donor). I was rushed in for renal transplantation surgery. Recovery from the operation was a very painful time. I didn’t have the energy to get out of the hospital bed. My family and the CMC team gave me the strength I needed to get back on my feet and live a normal life.”
It is nearly 12 years since Purnima’s kidney transplant surgery at CMC. Today she is a successful High Court lawyer. She takes care of her parents as they grow older and frailer. “Despite various complications, God has given me the gift of life,” says Purnima.” I will never forget CMC’s role in my recovery. Please support CMC and help save lives of patients like me.”
