At Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, an 84-year-old mother made a rare and selfless kidney donation to her 50-year-old daughter struggling with chronic kidney disease. Although she was an elderly donor, she went ahead without second thought to donate her kidney, when the doctor advised transplantation as the only hope of survival for her daughter, and there was no other living donor willing to donate. She had said, "My life can save hers; I am ready if I can save my daughter."

Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, the senior consultant who performed the surgery, said, "Organ donation at this age is quite rare." Her physical fitness, mental strength, and willingness has challenged the belief that age is a barrier in donation. The donor was kept under observation for three days in the Urology ICU before discharge; while the daughter - the recipient was recovering well with the new kidney functioning near normal.

Dr. Shivam Priyadarshi, Head of Urology, stated that such donations not only offer hope to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but also highlight the altruism and strong support systems that exist within families. This inspiring donation story reflects not only a medical triumph but also the enduring strength of a mother's love.
