With rare stem-cell match, expat flies home to save 10-yr-old boy
The New Indian Express Kannur
|September 09, 2025
WHEN Amjad Rahman boarded a late-night flight from the UAE to Kochi on Sunday, he carried—more than luggage—the hope of saving a 10-year-old boy's life.
The 34-year-old is now the miracle that doctors and family members, of a child he has never met, have been desperately praying for.
The boy, whose family wishes to keep his identity anonymous, has been fighting a rare and aggressive blood disorder.
His doctors at Amrita Hospital, Ernakulam, had only one solution: A stem-cell transplant. The chance of finding a compatible donor is one in a million. Despite months of searching across Kerala, no match had surfaced.
