"Cirrhosis, as people think, is not a disease which is caused only by alcohol. There are other factors too, which can cause liver cirrhosis like fatty liver or hepatitis B/C. Joydev is a non-alcoholic and non-smoker who suffers cirrhosis. He really needs a chance in survival." - Dr. Anand Khakhar.

54-year-old Joydev Mandal is diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a slowly progressing disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, eventually preventing the liver from functioning properly. The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the processing of nutrients, hormones, drugs, and naturally produced toxins. He needs to undergo an urgent life-saving Liver transplantation.

He earns upto 25,000 per month and his wife 3000 as she is not a permanent staff. Joydev went for his first check up four years back at Guwahati. He then went to Narayani Hospital, Calcutta.
