Malaysian doctors who operated on the patient hail the kidney transplant as a victory against stigma.
Six months have since passed and the patient is now living a healthy life. The transplant has thus been hailed as a resounding success.
To learn more about the operation, FMT Lifestyle spoke to three representatives from the medical team behind it. These were Dr Lim Soo Kun, a nephrologist and UMMC’s renal division head; Dr Shanggar Kuppusamy, a urologist; and Dr Raja Iskandar Shah Raja Azwa, an infectious disease expert.
