Karachi Nephrologist Donates Son’s Kidneys, Saves Two Lives

News summary

In Karachi, Dr. Mahar Afroze, a nephrologist, made a profound sacrifice by donating the kidneys of her 23-year-old son, Syed Sultan Zafar, who was declared brain dead after a severe car accident, thereby saving two patients awaiting transplants. Sultan, a dental student from a family with a strong medical legacy, initially showed signs of recovery but ultimately succumbed to his injuries, prompting his mother's life-saving decision. In the United States, a Poway couple, Jim and Mirna Irish, exemplify commitment and sacrifice as Mirna is an extraordinary kidney match for her husband Jim, who faces multiple health challenges including cancer and kidney failure; their transplant surgery is scheduled for early August. Additionally, in Boston, a Greek-American mother is urgently seeking a kidney donor with blood type B or O, highlighting ongoing critical needs for organ donations. These stories collectively underscore the vital importance of organ donation and the profound impact it has on saving lives.
