In fact one of the patients who was undergoing dialysis in his place had a transplant at Sri Ramachandra and he decided to travel to Chennai to have the transplant.

He had a large family and his youngest brother who was in a garment business agreed to donate his kidney. A few initial investigations were done and they took a flight to Chennai via Mumbai.
