GEM Hospital and Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, located five kilometre apart in Coimbatore, have pulled off simultaneous liver transplants earlier this month for two men in their fifties, involving an inter-hospital swap of organs from donors, who were each other's wives.
Addressing the media here on Friday, the hospitals claimed that this was the first time in India that such liver transplants involving inter-hospital swap was done.
The patients, aged 59 from Salem and 53 from Tiruppur respectively admitted in GEM and Ramakrishna hospitals, were in dire need of liver transplants. Although their respective wives were ready to donate, they could not due to blood group incompatibility.
