FAQ about Lung transplant in India

Features of a lung transplant in India

As of now, India is the only place where transplantation of organs from non-related donors is permitted by law. In other countries, it is either illegal or requires a citizenship. Donors are deceased people with ceased brain functions whose relatives gave their permission to use their organs for transplants.

Foreign patients and India citizens are positioned in the same queue, meaning an absence of preferences and shorter waiting period for international recipients. This also reduces the duration of patient’s stay in a hospital.

The lung transplant consists of 4 stages:

  1. Establishing connection. Contact the clinic via Bookimed to receive guidance through the process of preparing paperwork and contacting a clinic.
  2. Preoperative examination. Blood tests, medical documents review and psychological evaluation of a patient aimed to assess the eligibility for being placed on the waitlist.
  3. Transplant process. The operation takes from 6 to 12 hours, depending on its type and patient’s condition. A patient is under general anesthesia.
  4. Postoperative rehabilitation. A patient recovers in the hospital for 4-8 weeks. During this period a patient will be closely monitored and further recommendations considering follow-up care composed.

Lung transplant cost in India

The following factors influence the lung transplant cost in india:

  • operation type: partial, single, double transplant, or combined double and heart transplant;
  • urgency (it is possible to order a chartered flight to deliver organs if they were allocated too far away);
  • patient’s condition;
  • duration of stay in a guest house;
  • duration of rehabilitation.

Lungs transplant cost in Delhi will be higher than lung transplant cost in Chennai since the former has a much bigger population and better economics. Despite the low price, service quality and doctor’s qualifications in India are as high as those in Israel and Germany. Only the most qualified surgeons with no less than 15 years of experience are permitted to participate in the procedure.
