Seeing no improvement in the health of Indian-origin Ireland cricketer Simi Singh, he was brought to India for better treatment.
Simranjit Singh alias Simi Singh, one of Ireland’s top all-rounders, is fighting for his life. Simi Singh was born in Mohali, India. The bad news is that he is seriously ill and is suffering from ‘acute liver failure’ at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram. Simi needs a liver transplant and his wife Agamdeep Kaur will become a liver donor for him.
How Did Simi Singh’s Health Deteriorate?
Simi Singh was complaining of persistent fever for the last few months, the exact cause of which could not be ascertained. Despite treatment in Dublin, there was no improvement in his health, after which he was brought to India for better treatment.
Simi reached India in late June and treatment started at PGI, Chandigarh. She was initially given treatment for TB, but later it became clear that she did not have TB.
Simi’s health started deteriorating further in the last week of August, due to which she developed severe jaundice. Doctors found that she had ‘liver failure’, after which she was referred to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram.
Simi Singh’s Treatment And Liver Transplant Procedure, Wife Will Become Donor
Doctors have approved Simi Singh’s wife Agamdeep Kaur to donate the liver, and Simi’s liver transplant will be done soon. Due to Simi’s AB+ blood group, they did not face any problem in finding a donor. Doctors hope that this surgery will be successful and Simi will get a new life.
