Kochi has acquired some fame in the wake of it recording the first combined instance of a pancreas kidney transplant.
This landmark surgery was successfully carried out at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) here.
This highly complex surgery was done on 35-year-old civil engineer S.Syed Yunus Shahi, who hails from Palakkad.
Syed's family is thankful to the family of a 38-year-old donor, who was declared brain dead.
Shahi had been suffering from Type I Diabetes for the past 16 years and developed diabetes-related complications like retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and end stage kidney failure over the past two years.
