HYDERABAD: The oft quoted ‘matches are made in heaven’ maxim came true for a couple twice.
The couple, Venkata Subba Reddy and Mumtaz, had crossed the boundaries of religion to get married.
They were living happily until Venkata was diagnosed with progressive liver failure, and his condition was worsening. While the family was looking for a donor, Mumtaz’s relatives came forward to donate liver. However, doctors could not find a match.
They then found Mumtaz’s liver was a perfect match for her husband. The wife donated 60% of her liver to save her husband’s life.
“Only Mumtaz’s liver was compatible to Venkata,” said Dr Raghavendra Babu, senior consultant liver transplant surgeon, Gleneagles Global.
