Shy and lean Sanjay Kanthasamy from Kanchipuram was recipient of the country's first successful liver transplant in 1998. Kanthasamy suffered from Biliary Atresia soon after birth, a common condition that necessitates a liver transplant in children. The transplant was carried out on him and his father as the donor, at the liver transplant facility at Apollo hospitals Delhi Nov 15, 1998. Exuding confidence, he joined the panel of doctors at the dais and declared: "I am Sanjay Kanthasamy. In 1998, I was ill. Now I study in class 6... I am in my school's basketball team and I love to play." After an uncertain pause, he added: "I want to be a doctor. I also share a special bond with my father who

donated 30 percent of his liver to me." Kanthasamy was one among 60 former patients who were recipients or donors that had gathered at the function. Another patient, 40-year-old Ron from Canada, is still in post-operative care after his transplant two weeks ago. "I am amazed with the care I received here. I thank the doctors and nurses that have taken care of me and my family so well," Ron said, sitting on a wheelchair, guarded by two intensive care unit nurses.

Vikas Tuli donated a part of his liver to his ailing newborn son Ayush in March this year. Ayush, now a happy gurgling kid, fell asleep in his mother's arms, soon after the function started. "I was the sole bread winner and I thought what would become of my family if I didn't make it. I was wrong to even think that. It is a tough decision, but the key is not to weigh the pros and cons, and go for it," Tuli averred.

The cost of the operation at Apollo Hospitals comes to about Rs.1.2-1.5 million for children and Rs.1.7-1.8 million for adults.
