Rajesh Suryavanshi from Aurangabad Youth Welfare Association advised Dr Shingte to register with Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC) for kidney donation.However, his wife Alka offered to donate her kidney without waiting for the donor. However, the blood group of husband and wife did not match.The blood group of Dr Shingte is A-Positive while his wife's blood group is B-Positive.The doctors advised Dr Shingte to opt for a swap transplant which involves an exchange of organs between two families, who cannot donate the organ to their family member because of blood group mismatch.In another case, Parbhani-based pharmacist Gunwant Kale’s wife Rajni Kale suddenly fell in November 2019. Doctors informed the patient about the failure of her both kidneys. She approached Dr Neeraj Inamdar from the city for the treatment.
