Monika More, a resident of Kurla, was discharged after spending over 4 weeks at Global Hospital in Mumbai. The 24-year-old patient, who underwent a 16-hour double hand transplant procedure successfully on August 28, has recovered and will attempt to become independent after a gap of almost 6 years.

Monika, who was a teenager then, lost her both hands in 2014 after falling into a deadly platform gap at Ghatkopar station. She tried to use prosthetic limbs for few months, but soon realised that they are practically useless and more of a burden.
