Catholic priest James Kunthara CMI, rector of the Pope John Paul II Minor Seminary at Neeleswaram, Malayattoor, has donated his kidney to Jojo Jose, a young manager of a hotel near Angamaly, who was diagnosed with acute renal failure.
The family of Mr. Jose had waited desperately to find a suitable donor through the Mrithasanjeevani scheme. It was at that time that Father Kunthara, learning about the plight of Mr. Jose from his brother-in-law and seminarian Thomas Chittuparamban, came forward to offer his kidney.
Dr. Jose Thomas, consultant nephrologist at Rajagiri Hospital, confirmed the suitability of Father Kunthara’s kidney for transplant.
Both Father Kunthara and Mr. Jose were admitted to the hospital on May 10. The transplant was successfully done on May 17 by a team led by Dr. Jose Thomas. The others in the medical team were Dr. Balagopal Nair, Dr. Sneha P. Simon, Dr. Appu Jose, Dr. Sachin George, and Dr. Shalini Ramakrishmanan, said a communication.
