Overview
Organ Transplantation
Coordinated transplant programme for kidney, liver and bone marrow
The transplantation programme integrates transplant surgery with hepatology, nephrology, haematology, infectious diseases and intensive care in one pathway. Living and cadaveric donor evaluations move through ethical and medical review together.
Follow-up is treated as part of the programme, not an afterthought. Immunosuppression plans, laboratory checks, infection risk and nutrition are monitored closely by transplant coordinators.
