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

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.
