Mysuru: Apollo BGS Hospitals, Mysuru, the only multi-organ transplant centre in the region, has achieved a major milestone by completing 100 liver transplants.

A pioneer in organ transplantation in the region, this hospital obtained its license for kidney transplants in 2003, followed by liver transplants in 2017. In 2020, it secured the license to perform multi-organ transplants, becoming the region’s first licensed Organ Transplant Centre (OTC).

The hospital’s high transplant success rate is attributed to its expert in-house surgeons, a dedicated multidisciplinary team comprising transplant specialists, anaesthetists, intensivists and physicians, alongside an eminent  pool of surgeons.

The hospital has highly sophisticated and well-designed operation theatres (OT), which are essential for optimising patients before transplantation. The hospital features dedicated ICUs to ensure superior post-operative care. Advanced laboratories enable comprehensive tests and investigations. Cutting-edge radiology facilities ensure accurate diagnostics and monitoring. These facilities make Apollo BGS Hospitals a leading choice for organ transplants.
