Liver for this transplant is taken from dying Army officer’s wife who was in coma and then transplanted in to a 14 month boy and 26 year old solider. Both these patients are now doing well. Hopefully, success of this transplant will save lives of many other patients suffering from liver problems. Below, people can also watch NDTV’s report on this transplant.
