On November 2, 2022, MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan- ‘Making Transplants Affordable’ team received an email from Bombay Hospital & Medical Research Center, Mumbai requesting financial aid for Ms Priya Suresh Jadhav, who was suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and was on maintenance dialysis. She needed an urgent kidney transplant to be able to survive.
Ms Priya Jadhav, age 23, hails from Pune, Maharashtra. She belongs to an underprivileged family. Her father is a farmer & a daily wage labourer in Pune. With the meager family income, her family could not afford to pay the huge cost of the kidney transplant, i.e.; Rs. 7.5 Lakh.
Few years ago, Priya started having pale eyes and stomach pain. She used to vomit whatever she was eating. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment, where it was found that Priya was suffering from a chronic kidney disease. She was then referred to Bombay Hospital for further and better treatment.
Her mother, Mrs. Manisha Suresh Jadhav came forward to donate one of her kidney to save her beloved daughter’s life. After the parents discussed about their poor economic situation, the doctors & transplant coordinators at Bombay Hospital informed them about MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan.
With support from Anudaan, few other NGOs and the hospital’s concession on transplant cost, Ms Priya Jadhav successfully underwent a kidney transplant on November 05, 2022. MOHAN Foundation sanctioned Rs. 75,000 for her kidney transplant.
Both the mother and daughter are doing well. Ms Priya is very happy and excited for her future. She wants to be a doctor so that she can serve the underprivileged patients like her.
‘Many thanks and lots of gratitude to MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan team for saving my daughter’s life with their financial support.’ – Mr. Suresh Jadhav, Father.
