New Delhi, Oct. 19: Paediatrician Neelam Mohan says she won't ever forget the contrasting decisions she had received from two mothers, an Indian and a Nigerian, each cradling a tiny infant with life-threatening liver failure in her arms. I cannot be judgmental about decisions that parents take," said Mohan, a senior paediatric gastro-enterologist at Gurgaon's private Medanta Hospital who specialises in children with liver disorders. It was faith that David's parents say had brought them to India to pursue a transplant procedure that some surgeons in Nigeria had told them would be futile. Liver transplant surgeon Arvinder Soin and David’s father James Soin and his colleagues did the transplant on August 2. Surgeons say that liver transplants in private Indian hospitals typically cost about Rs 20 lakh.
