Love Beyond Words: When Valentine’s Day Becomes Kidney Day
This Valentine’s Day, love found a life-saving meaning at Marengo CIMS Hospital as inspiring couples marked the day as their “K-Day” — celebrating kidney donation and second chances at life. Featured in Ahmedabad Mirror, these real-life stories highlight how organ donation can transform families and redefine relationships.
From wives donating kidneys to their husbands, to a husband choosing his wife’s health over parenthood, these journeys reflect courage, commitment, and medical excellence. Under the guidance of Dr. Siddharth Mavani, Director of Nephrology, the hospital has witnessed a growing number of successful kidney transplants — with increasing awareness and advancements in nephrology care.
Kidney disease, often linked to diabetes and hypertension, continues to rise in India. Timely screening, healthy lifestyle choices, and early intervention remain crucial. These couples remind us that beyond flowers and gifts, the greatest expression of love can be the gift of life itself.
As Valentine’s Day turns into “Kidney Day,” their stories inspire awareness about organ donation, preventive nephrology, and the importance of regular health check-ups. Love, after all, is not just celebrated — it is lived, donated, and shared.
