A Heart-warming Kidney Transplant Story at Noble Hospitals, Pune!

Despite having an incompatible blood group, a mother in her 50s donated a kidney to save her 31-year-old son, a Buddhist monk from Bangladesh, at Noble Hospitals, Pune.

The son was suffering from IgA (Immunoglobulin A) Nephropathy and a transplant was his only chance. With advanced treatment like plasmapheresis and expert care, the transplant was successfully performed on 11 June 2025.

Early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) usually has no symptoms. If you are at higher risk, your doctor may recommend an eGFR test to check kidney function. An eGFR of 90 or above is considered normal, while a result below 90 may indicate reduced kidney function.

Medical drone test after drone test. When does it get mainstream?

Now, Malaysia's communications regulator has recently piloted drone-based delivery of medicines in rural and remote areas. They plan to roll it out nationwide in the coming years.

"The drone delivery service aims to accelerate access to medications in hard-to-reach communities, including islands and remote villages, without proper road infrastructure.

The project also reportedly supports the Malaysian government's efforts to utilise technology, including 5G and AI, to expand access to healthcare services in rural communities."
