Hospital had sought consent of donor’s wife
Justice T. Amarnath Goud of Telangana High Court on Tuesday instructed Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills to permit donation of kidney by a man for his ailing sister without asking for his wife’s consent. A private company employee, K. Venkat Naren, from Ramakrishnapuram of Hyderabad decided to donate his kidney to his sister B. Madhuri suffering a chronic renal failure. They planned a kidney transplantation at Apollo-Jubilee Hills on July 30 this year. To their surprise, a day ahead of the surgery they received a communication from the hospital seeking a letter of consent from Naren’s wife Durgavarapu Valli to carry out the surgery. Mr. Naren, who moved the HC, stated that he had differences with his wife and had already filed a petition in Malkajgiri family court for dissolution of his marriage.
