“I am in the process of starting a renal unit at our institute and the dialysis facility is just being set up. Transplantation is a target for the future for us. It is very heartening to note the efforts you are putting in to promote the cause of cadaver organ donation. It is very much needed.”

" Thank you very much for sending me a copy of the Indian Transplant Newsletter. I found it a very interesting read and though there appear to be many similarities (in the cadaver transplant programme) there are also differences, which were very illuminating."

"Many thanks for sending me the first issue of the Indian Transplant Newsletter, which I read with great interest and pleasure. I really was thrilled to know about the story of Dr. A. K. Annamalai's gifting his kidneys to his wife. This gesture will certainly encourage many of our people to donate their organs without hesitation."
