In the second instance, both the donor (21-year-old gentleman) and the recipient (55-year-old gentleman) were from Myanmar. The transplant was performed under the clinical expertise of Dr. Vinay Mahindra, senior consultant urologist and Dr. Manish Kumar Jain.
The third transplant was done by Dr. Mohan Seal and Dr. Manish Kumar Jain on 43-year-old male from Kolkata, who received a kidney from a 28-year-old lady from North 24 Parganas.
