Understanding Liver Transplant

Liver transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or damaged liver with a healthy liver from a donor. It is considered when the liver can no longer function adequately and other treatments have failed.

India has emerged as a leading destination for liver transplants, with world-class facilities, experienced transplant teams, and excellent outcomes. The country performs both living donor and deceased donor liver transplants with success rates comparable to international standards.

Our partner hospitals have dedicated transplant centers with multidisciplinary teams including hepatologists, transplant surgeons, anesthesiologists, and specialized nursing staff to ensure the best possible outcomes.
