I am very sad to read this news about Dr Rajat Kaul. He was always very soft spoken and helpful. His TT skills and dribbling in hockey were of high quality with very smooth graceful movements.
Whenever he met me at transplant conferences, he took me for dinner. His caring persona will remain imprinted on my mind. Ajay Sharma 1980 batch
I have known Rajat since August 1978: when I joined Medical School at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.
We really connected in 1991 when I moved to the USA and started my career as a Transplant Surgeon. Rajat and I had a common interest in Kidney Transplantation. We met regularly at several Transplant meetings.
A couple of years before the pandemic we started an organization called the Transplant Professionals of Indian Origin (TPIO), with Dr. Sundaram Hariharan of Pittsburgh. Rajat was a founding Board Member of TPIO and single handedly got us non profit status.
This is now a vibrant organization which supports Education, Mentorship, Networking and Community events related to all kinds of Transplants.
TPIO members include Transplant Physicians, Surgeons, Researchers, Fellows, and others. On our Board we have a Bank CEO and a Transplant Recipient.
Much has been spoken about his deep commitment to Kidney Transplant patients.
His passing is an immense loss for all of us.
We will always cherish his memory, and keep on the great work he started with TPIO!

I Dr Sanjay Madan, grad Alumnus of Rajat share heartfelt thoughts with the family and pray to God to give Manju to bear this loss with strong will as there is a definite plan of destiny in Rajat loss and will be enacted as per the law of Nature
Never ever feel alone as we, the class of 48 AIIMSONIANS ,77 are always with you and family and can be called upon in need
We are so heartbroken. Rajat and I spent over 5 years on the same floor of our hostel at AIIMS, our medical school. I first met him in 1977 when we were just 17 years old. He was a dear friend, such a gentleman, and with the kindest of hearts. He was super intelligent and witty. Renu, my wife and I, had a chance to stay with Rajat and Manju when they were in Detroit many years ago. After a long gap, we were blessed to meet them again recently in Orlando at a mutual friend's wedding. It was a wonderful reunion. Rajat will live forever in our hearts and he will be so missed!!
I met Dr. Kaul during my career as a dialysis RN . He was always kind, willing to help in any way he could. I truly admired him so much! God bless his family🙋♀️❤️ Marilyn J. Potts, retired RN
😭😭😭😭😭.
First met Rajat in 2000. Always had thought provoking discussions with him (rarely about medicine). One night, late into the night, we discussed American football Vs Cricket: Which sport was more complex. He had a long list of great points to prove that Cricket was as complex as American football. A brilliant clinician that his patients will miss dearly. Keeping Manju & the kids in our prayers.
