 Hi, I'm Santosh, 29 years old and I've been diagnosed as kidney failure since from 2017 and I was under treatment of dialysis from then. Later on we planned for transplant and my mom was voluntary to view me yet but like reports wasn't matching and then we stopped working on transplant and later on we got to know that my father is eligible to give me his organ and then we came to Manipal and consulted with Dr. Sankaran Sundar. He gave me the hopes. Santosh's young red boy came to me for kidney transplant. His father was fit to be a donor. After the new medical process and legal clearance he was ready for transplant. At that point of time the COVID has just come into India and the lockdown was about to start so we were worried. In fact if you look at the general impression is during COVID period major surgeries were stopped and transplants were not being done so we had a doubt whether we should go ahead with the transplant or not go ahead with the transplant but by not going ahead Santosh would have been on dialysis alternate day and be coming to the hospital and we thought the risk of getting infection if he comes to the hospital and travels around maybe more. So after due proper counseling our whole team decided we should go ahead with the transplant with all precautions and I should actually congratulate Santosh for having trust in us because trust is the essence of cure. Once we have trust in the hospital and in the doctors we can work together and I'm proud to say that Manipal Hospital is something which is unique where all protocols are followed to the core starting through the entrance where screening is done nobody with fever is allowed and hand sanitization use of personal protection equipment in the operation theater in the OPD are all done. So Santosh had a good transplant he had normal kidney functions and he got discharged in the week of transplant. He is now two months after transplant he's doing well. We were about to get transplanted on on the month of March 28th so that's when I had a little bit fear that what corona thing and later on the hospital made its promises that everything will go well and my transplant was done successfully and the hospital kept its premises very well flint hygiene and they followed every protocol that they can take to keep the hospital safe and its patients safe and I would definitely recommend patients who want to go for transplant can come forward and go with the transplant successfully as I'm doing well and I was even I was into your position and really I'm doing well right now and I don't have any fear of this corona thing because the hospital takes care of things very well and they are really doing great and I personally would thank Shankaran Sundar Dr Shankaran Sundar so he's been encouraging me and really everything is going well I'm really doing perfectly well right now it's been almost 60 days now and I'm really doing well
