32-Year-Old software Engineer from AP donates stem cells twice, giving two blood cancer patients a second chance at life

Hyderabad, Oct 7 (UNI) A 32-year-old Software engineer Satish Reddy from Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), achieved a rare feat by donating his stem cells twice through DKMS Foundation India, giving two different patients battling blood cancer a second chance at life. He was felicitated at a special event held in Hyderabad on Tuesday, where DKMS Foundation India also hosted a fireside chat to highlight the urgent need for more stem cell donors in India.
Though Satish first registered as a potential donor in July 2016 during a local event, five years later, in June 2021, he was matched with a blood cancer patient in India and donated his stem cells, helping the patient recover.
In 2023, he met his recipient in Ahmedabad during a donor–patient meeting, a deeply emotional experience that underscored the life-saving impact of donation.
