Kidney and liver transplant programmes
Organ transplant at Fortis, India
Kidney and liver transplants for Nigerian patients, planned from Abuja. Send your reports and a Fortis transplant specialist will tell you whether you are eligible and what it will cost.
When a kidney or liver has failed, a transplant can offer a longer and more active life than dialysis or long-term medication. At Fortis, each transplant is managed by a multidisciplinary team of nephrologists or hepatologists, transplant surgeons, anaesthetists and critical care specialists.
Whether a transplant is right for you depends on your medical condition and on eligibility for both you and your donor. A Fortis specialist reviews your reports first, so you know where you stand before anyone travels.
- Living related donor programmes for kidney and liver
- Donor documentation and hospital authorisation committee process explained step by step
- Visas arranged for patient, donor and attendant
- Follow-up and teleconsults arranged from our Abuja office after you return home
