External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will undergo kidney transplant at AIIMS in New Delhi this weekend. The donor is said to be unrelated to the Union Minister.

AIIMS Doctors have confirmed that no suitable donor was available in the immediate family in Sushma's case. Hence, The transplantation will be done with the kidney of Living Unrelated Donor (it could be a relative or friend or neighbour or anyone).

After the crossmatch, blood & immunological tests, Doctors have figured out that recipient (Sushma Swaraj) and donor were fit for transplantation. Doctors have obtained the clearance from the authorization committee to perform kidney transplantation. Pre-Transplant Procedure of both recipient and donor has been completed. Several tests have been performed to prevent Co-Morbidity.

Sushma Swaraj is suffering from kidney failure and diabetes. She is undergoing dialysis frequently since November 7th.
