For patients with end-stage kidney disease, receiving a kidney transplant can make a significant difference in their quality of life. We speak to Teoh, a kidney transplant recipient, on her story of having to undergo a kidney transplant, and what receiving a kidney from a family member has meant to her.

This is part of our Gift of Life series to raise awareness on living-donor kidney transplants, brought to you by Sunway Medical Centre.
