A woman at the centre of an appeal for more people from ethnic backgrounds to be organ donors has received a"second chance" with a liver transplant.
Sunaina Paul, 31, of Bearwood in the West Midlands, was a priority on the transplant list but a shortage of BAME donors meant finding a match was more difficult.Her aunt Jaimini Lakhani said the family felt"blessed" and"grateful"., a condition in which bile ducts in the liver are blocked, leading to a build up of bile, which causes damage to the liver.
Mrs Lakhani said in January a potential transplant had been unable to go ahead as the liver was too large.The 31-year-old had been classed as"super urgent" on the transplant list, her family said When the coronavirus pandemic broke out, Ms Paul, who lives with her sister, was asked to shield but her condition had been deteriorating, her aunt said.
On Monday she received a call from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham to say it had a potential liver for her. The transplant took place on Tuesday and her family were later told it had been successful.
