Official websiteCommon questions before travelling for treatment in India
These answers explain coordination, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Your specialist determines clinical care after assessment.
What are the legal donor requirements for organ transplantation in India?
Indian law strictly requires international patients to bring a close blood relative (mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, or spouse) as a living donor, verified through official family documents, DNA testing, embassy NOC, and the hospital Authorization Committee.
Can a hospital in India provide a local donor?
No. Commercial donation or unrelated local donors are strictly prohibited under Indian law; the related donor must travel with the patient.
How long is the total stay in India for a kidney or liver transplant?
Typically 6 to 10 weeks in total, covering pre-transplant workup and committee approval, hospitalisation, and post-discharge monitoring in a clean serviced apartment.
Do your discounts apply to transplant surgeries and immunosuppressant medicines?
Yes, our hospital contracts provide 10% off the operation cost and 20% off prescribed take-home medicines, along with free coordination and translation.
