Kidney Federation of India was born on the operation  table when Fr. Davis Chiramel, donated one of his kidney to Mr. Gopinathan, a native of Vatanapilly, Thrissur on 30^th September 2009.

And kidney bank ( a concept of Fr. Davis Chiramel) had its birth when Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly, an industrialist donated one of his kidney to a totally unrelated person. Kidney Banking is a network of people who are willing to donate their kidneys. The one who donates is an ‘investor’ and the one who receives is a ‘share holder’.

How it works?

            In many cases, blood groups of immediate relatives willing to donate a kidney might not match with the patient.  Thus the chain starts from a voluntary donation by an unrelated person.  In return the immediate relative of the receipient donates a kidney to another patient if his/her blood group.  In turn, that patients relative donates a kidney to another patient and so on.

Who can be a kidney donor?

             Any healthy person between the age of 18 and 60 and not suffering from other severe diseases like hypertension, diabetics willing to donate can do  so after a detailed medical check up, and approval of papers from the authorization committee.
