🕯️ It is with profound grief that we at CMC Vellore mourn the passing of Prof. K.V. Johny — the Father of Kidney Transplantation in India. 🕯️ A giant has left us. His legacy is eternal. 🧵 A tribute to a legend: 🙏🏻 In the late 1960s, Prof. Kaivilayil V Johny trained in renal transplantation at Adelaide, Australia. He returned with a mission, and changed Indian Nephrology forever. On 2nd February 1971, Prof. KV Johny & Prof. Mohan Rao performed India's FIRST successful kidney transplant at CMC Vellore — a defining moment in the history of Indian medicine. He founded the Department of Nephrology at CMC Vellore in 1971 - the first of its kind, and launched India's first DM Nephrology training programme, seeding a generation of kidney specialists across the nation. Under his leadership, CMC Vellore became the gold standard for nephrology & renal transplantation in India. He was not just a clinician — he was a builder, a teacher, and a visionary who trained nephrologists who now lead kidney care across India and the world. "A visionary who opened the doors of kidney transplantation in India and transformed the future of renal care." Rest in peace, Prof. Johny. CMC Vellore and Indian Nephrology will forever stand on the shoulders of your life's work. 🙏 @OffCMCVellore @isn_india @IndiaSoTx @ISNEdu @ISNkidneycare @WomenNeph_india @ttsorg @ASNKidney @goKDIGO
