The chambers of Srinagar-resident Shahzadi Fathima’s heart had become stiff over time. She became terminally ill and her only hope of survival was early life-saving heart transplantation.
On January 26, a suitable brain-dead donor was identified in a private hospital in Trichy. The heart was rushed to Chennai through a green corridor and a high-risk heart transplantation was carried out on Fathima. She recovered fast after the procedure and is now ready to begin a new life in Kashmir, NDTV quoted doctors at MGM Healthcare as saying.
Since Fathima was unable to meet her medical expenses and the cost of the transplant. Aishwarya Trust, a non-profit group, came to her help.
“It was a meaningful way for Aishwarya Trust to celebrate Republic Day by funding the lady’s heart transplant on January 26,” the trust’s founder Chitra Viswanathan was quoted as saying.
