Kidney Transplants Delayed at Jaipur Hospital Following Doctor's Retirement
At Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Hospital, kidney transplant surgeries were delayed after senior nephrologist Dr. Dhananjay Agarwal retired in late May, as patient records remained inaccessible in his locked room. Eleven patients, including Jayantilal and his wife Anita, who are both awaiting transplant, faced a month-long hold despite having completed necessary paperwork. Many patients have been staying near the hospital for extended periods, incurring significant expenses while awaiting surgery resumption.
