Selfless Love: Mother donates organ to son for second time
New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI): In an extraordinary act of maternal love, a 60-year-old mother has given her son the gift of life for the second time at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), New Delhi.
The remarkable story began in 2015 when she donated a portion of her liver to her son, born in 1997, who was diagnosed with a life-threatening liver ailment.
Nearly a decade later, her son developed kidney failure, and she selflessly offered to donate one of her kidneys. She was declared fit even after her earlier liver donation, and was cleared to donate one of her kidneys.
The renal transplant team at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in New Delhi, led by Dr Abhiyutthan Singh Jadaon, performed a highly complex laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, overcoming challenges due to the mother's previous major surgery.
The recipient's transplant was handled by a skilled team of nephrologists under the leadership of Dr RP Mathur, navigating critical immunological hurdles.
The transplant was successful, and the son was discharged after a 10-day recovery period. This extraordinary act of love and sacrifice has given him a new lease on life, thanks to his mother's unwavering devotion.
In a separate incident earlier this month on May 4, a 20-year-old driver's wife chose to donate his organs after he was declared brain dead following a tragic accident.
Banoth Ramana, a resident of Warangal district in Telangana, got into an accident when a tractor suddenly collided with his two-wheeler on April 27 last month. His family rushed him to a private hospital in Hyderabad.At 9:05 PM on May 1, Ramana was declared brain dead.
Ramana's wife, Kalyani, chose to donate his organs, which have given six patients a second chance at life. According to an official associated with Jeevandan, Telangana initiative, the donated organs include two kidneys, a liver, a heart, and two corneas. (ANI)

UAE, WHO launch humanitarian initiative to combat malnutrition among women, children in Socotra Island
Socotra Island [Yemen], June 4 (ANI/WAM): As part of the strategic partnership between the United Arab Emirates and the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation for Humanitarian Works has launched a humanitarian initiative to combat malnutrition among children and women in Socotra Island in Yemen. The initiative reflects the UAE's commitment to help nations around the world improve their healthcare sector. It aims to address pressing health issues in Socotra, where nutritional inadequacy, especially among children, is a major challenge. Global reports say that Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate in the island has reached 10.9 per cent, and the Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) rate is 1.6 per cent among children under five. Internationally, GAM rates between 10 per cent and 14 per cent are classified as serious, while SAM rates above 1 per cent are considered alarming. Mohamed Haji Al Khouri, Director-General of the Foundation, stressed the UAE's humanitarian and global responsibility to develop communities and enhance critical health services. "This stems from the enduring humanitarian legacy of the late Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. We are determined to effectively address food and health challenges faced by women and children in Socotra, in collaboration with the WHO," he said. Al Khouri explained that the Khalifa Foundation, an affiliate of Erth Zayed Philanthropies, would work with the WHO to develop appropriate solutions to nutritional and health challenges using a new survey based on current data. "The joint initiative aims to reduce maternal and child mortality caused by malnutrition through a comprehensive plan of action spanning over two years. This will enhance maternal, infant, and child care services, and improve emergency preparedness and response to epidemics," he added. Acting WHO Representative in Yemen Dr Ferima Coulibaly-Zerbo said, "This joint effort reflects our shared vision of building resilient health systems in Yemen. Together with the UAE and national authorities we are working to address urgent needs and lay the foundation for long-term health security on the Island. Through this partnership, WHO and the UAE aim to build stronger, more responsive and more equitable health systems to serve the people of Socotra and contribute to a healthier, more resilient Yemen." The initiative is part of joint aid activities between the UAE and WHO in Yemen aimed to provide urgent food relief and curb nutritional and health deterioration across various population groups. It will strengthen healthcare infrastructure in Socotra by training medical staff, supplying medications, and establishing emergency preparedness mechanisms. It also seeks to implement sustainable solutions for malnutrition, ensure food security, raise community awareness, and improve disease surveillance for more effective medical interventions based on ongoing assessments and studies.
