A 22-year-old Wadala youth became one of the first person in the country to undergo a liver transplant after recovering from Covid-19 infection. 22-year-old Roshan Gurav suffered from chronic liver disease since he was five. On September 14, his mother Rashmi donated a portion of her liver for him.

Liver transplants, which are considered to be among the most complex surgeries, paired with Covid diagnosis pushed back Roshan's much-needed transplant by two months. Speaking to Times of India Dr Ankur Garg, who heads the liver transplant team at Nanavati Hospital, Juhu said, "His liver's condition was so acute that he needed frequent hospitalisation. During one such episode, we found that he was Covid-positive."
