Master Vrushank Ranjit Patil, Liver Transplant on April 05, 2023

On April 5, 2023, MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan- "Making Transplants Affordable" team received an email from Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, Mumbai, Maharashtra, requesting financial aid for liver transplant of Master Vrushank Ranjit Patil, who was suffering from chronic liver disease.

Master Vrushank Patil, age 9 years, hails from Kalmboli Node, Raigarh, a town in Navi Mumbai district of Maharashtra. He belongs to a poor family. His father works as a security guard. With the insufficient family income, it was difficult for them to pay the huge cost of Master Vrushank's liver transplant, which was Rs 10 lakhs.

Vrushank was suffering from swollen stomach with yellowish eyes and having liver infection. Since, his health condition was getting worst day by day, he was taken to B.J. Wadia hospital, where the family received the shocking news that Vrushank was suffering from a chronic liver disease. The doctors informed the family that the patient needed an immediate liver transplant in order to survive. Mother was found a perfect match for her son and she was very happy to hear that she would be able to save her son's life by donating a portion of her liver. But the biggest challenge remained for the family, which was to arrange the huge amount to pay for the transplant.

After discussing about the family's poor economic situation, the doctors at Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children informed them about MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan. With support from MOHAN Foundation, few other NGOs and hospital's concession on transplant cost, Master Vrushank successfully underwent a liver transplant on April 13, 2024. MOHAN Foundation sanctioned Rs. 2 lakhs for his liver transplant.

Both mother and son are recovering well. Vrushank is very happy and excited to receive a second chance to live. He is fond of computer, coding and gaming. He is aspiring to be a software engineer in future.

"I have learned about MOHAN Foundation's life-saving work, and I am quite impressed. I thank MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan for saving my son's life with their financial support".' - Mr. Ranjit Patil, Father.
