Hyderabad: A patient suffering from end-stage liver ailment, Venkata Subba Reddy received a new lease of life when surgeons from Gleneagles Global Hospitals, Lakdikapul successfully conducted a liver transplant surgery, after receiving a piece of matching donor liver from his wife, Mumtaz.

Subba Reddy was suffering from a chronic liver disease and his health condition was progressively worsening. As luck would have it, Mumtaz’s liver was compatible and the doctors decided to go ahead with the transplant surgery. Post transplantation, the couple hailing from Prodattur, Kadapa district, are stable and have recovered normally.
