Organ Transplant
Kidney, liver, and complex dynamic transplants
Organ transplantation replaces a failing organ with a healthy one from a donor. The organ may come from a living donor or from a donor who has died, and organs that can be transplanted include the kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas and intestine. After a transplant, recipients take medicines for the rest of their life to stop the immune system rejecting the new organ.
Through Medwell, international patients can arrange kidney transplant and liver transplant in India. Under India's Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Rules, 2014, a transplant involving a foreign national needs approval from an Authorisation Committee, and a senior official of the patient's embassy certifies the relationship between donor and recipient. The transplant team confirms eligibility after reviewing the reports of both patient and donor.
Organ transplant programmes run at five Medwell partner hospitals: BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, Paras Health, Gurugram, Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI), Gurugram and Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi, which performs heart, liver and kidney transplants under one roof. All five are NABH-accredited, and BLK-Max, Artemis and FMRI also hold JCI accreditation. BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital has 650 beds, including 162 critical care beds, and 22 modular operation theatres.
Patients travel to India for transplants because accredited hospitals in Delhi NCR run established kidney, liver and heart transplant programmes, doctors consult in English, and India offers an e-Medical Visa for the patient and e-Medical Attendant Visas for up to two companions, such as a living donor's family. Medwell helps you choose a transplant centre, explains the documents the hospital asks for, sends a free, no-obligation personalised quote, and assists with visa invitation letters, flights, a hotel near the hospital and support throughout. The e-Medical Visa allows multiple entries and is valid for one year from the date of arrival, and up to two companions can apply for e-Medical Attendant Visas linked to the patient's visa.
