As no recipient was available in army hospital for liver with same blood group, hence they decided to share liver with PGIMER, said an official spokesperson of PGIMER.
liver was successfully harvested by team of experts from command hospital and transported to PGIMER around 10 am on February 27.
This was successfully transplanted to a female patient from Patiala who had a damaged liver due to autoimmune hepatitis, added spokesperson
