Department Achievements
This year saw the completion of 180 successful kidney transplants. The new developments in the department include starting of ABO incompatible kidney transplants. This is an important boon for the patients who do not have blood group compatible donors in their families. The success of transplants across the blood group barrier in a government set-up is a ray of hope for middle class Indian families, as this procedure is very expensive in private hospitals.
