Responding to a question of a surgeon who was recording the clip, she said they married around 10 years back while they have no children. “My husband is my everything and I can donate every part of my body to save him”, she added.
Recently, Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Centre sets history by performing one kidney transplant and one liver transplant the same day to save two lives in the South Asian country. UAE Organ Donation team and UAE Ministry of Health team airlifted the two organs in a small commercial jet to hand over them to the PKLI&RC team.

Doctors usually take a piece of a matching liver out of someone and transplant it on the other person and it will grow into a full organ.
