In a first for South Africa and the African continent, a Mitchells Plain woman was given a second lease on life thanks to a miraculous new procedure that allows transplant patients to accept organs from donors of different blood groups.
Chervon Meyer, 35, from Rocklands received a kidney from her 24-year-old brother Joshua Swail, after surgeons at Groote Schuur Hospital performed an innovative surgery through the use of a filter, Glycosorb.
The filter has been lauded as a game-changer and was developed by Glycorex Transplantation from Sweden.
Chervon, who received her new kidney last week, says she is grateful for the new lease on life and cannot wait to start living a normal life again.
