Every year, patients are losing lives because of lack of organs to transplant. On 15th November, 1998, Sanjay Kandasamy became the first Indian to receive a liver transplant in a one-of-a-kind surgery where his father came forward to donate part of his liver. The transplant was successfully done at Apollo Hospitals, Delhi. Apollo Hospitals supports an initiative Gift A Life, and urges people to save lives by pledging their organs.
