45-year-old painter gets hands back after surgery

A remarkable tale of resilience and medical breakthrough is unfolding in Delhi as a 45-year-old painter, who tragically lost both hands in a train accident in 2020, is poised to wield his brush once more. Thanks to the surgical prowess of a team of Delhi doctors and the selfless act of organ donation by a woman, this individual’s life has been transformed. This groundbreaking bilateral hand transplant, the first of its kind in Delhi, marks a triumph over adversity for the painter, who hails from an underprivileged background and was facing a bleak future. Tomorrow, he will be discharged from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, ready to embrace the world anew. Indeed, in the face of despair, miracles do happen.
