Liver Transplant

## Liver Transplant in India A liver transplant is often the only curative treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, or certain liver cancers. India has emerged as one of the world's foremost destinations for liver transplantation, particularly living-donor liver transplants (LDLT). Indian centres perform over 2,500 liver transplants annually, with survival rates exceeding 90% at leading institutions. ### Pioneering Expertise Indian transplant surgeons, such as those at Medanta and Apollo, are internationally recognised pioneers in LDLT. The availability of living donors (typically family members) means shorter wait times compared to Western countries that rely primarily on deceased-donor organs. Comprehensive donor evaluation and post-transplant care ensure the safety of both donor and recipient. ### Comprehensive Care Ecosystem From initial evaluation through surgery and long-term follow-up, Indian hospitals provide an integrated care experience. Dedicated transplant coordinators, hepatologists, anaesthesiologists, and intensivists work as a unified team. International patients receive assistance with medical visas, accommodation, and interpreter services.
