Life-Saving Transplants.
World-Class Outcomes.
Up to 95% Lower Cost.
India is one of the world's leading destinations for kidney, liver, heart, lung, and bone marrow transplants — performed at government-approved centres with internationally trained surgical teams, at a fraction of what the same procedure costs in the USA or UK.
Why Patients Choose India for Organ Transplants
India is home to some of the world's most experienced organ transplant teams — performing thousands of kidney, liver, heart, and bone marrow transplants every year at government-approved centres. Outcomes are comparable to leading US and UK hospitals, at 80–95% lower cost.
India's Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA) provides a robust legal framework that protects both donors and recipients. Foreign nationals are eligible for living-donor transplants at approved hospitals. MedicareSpots manages the entire process — from medical evaluation and donor coordination to visa support and long-term post-transplant follow-up.
Consistent with outcomes from top US and UK transplant centres.
Kidney transplant from $14,000 vs $150,000–$350,000 in the United States.
All transplants performed at hospitals licensed under India's THOTA — full legal protection for donors and recipients.
Once donor evaluation is complete, surgery can typically be scheduled within 3–4 weeks.
Senior surgeons with fellowship training at top transplant centres in the USA, UK, and Europe.
Online follow-up consultations and immunosuppression management continue after you return home.
Organ Transplant Procedures We Facilitate
Kidney, liver, heart, lung, and bone marrow transplants — with transparent USD pricing and personalised cost estimates after medical record review.
Kidney Transplant
India's most performed organ transplant — high success rates using living or deceased donors. Most patients see a dramatic improvement in quality of life within weeks of surgery.
Liver Transplant
Living-donor liver transplant (LDLT) is widely performed in India. A portion of a healthy donor's liver is transplanted — both donor and recipient livers fully regenerate within months.
Heart Transplant
Full heart replacement for end-stage heart failure. India's government-approved cardiac transplant centres perform these procedures with outcomes comparable to leading Western hospitals.
Lung Transplant
Single or double lung transplant for end-stage pulmonary disease. Performed at select NABH-accredited centres with dedicated transplant ICUs and post-operative pulmonary rehabilitation.
Bone Marrow Transplant — Autologous
The patient's own stem cells are harvested, stored during high-dose chemotherapy, then re-infused to rebuild the immune system. Used for lymphoma, myeloma, and certain leukaemias.
Bone Marrow Transplant — Allogeneic
Stem cells from a matched donor (related or unrelated) replace the patient's bone marrow. Used for leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, thalassaemia, and other blood disorders.
* Costs are indicative USD ranges including surgery, hospital stay, ICU, and standard post-operative care. Living-donor evaluation costs are additional. Exact quote provided after records review.

Yes — for living-donor transplants (kidney, liver, bone marrow), foreign nationals are fully eligible at government-approved hospitals. The donor must be a close blood relative or spouse as defined under India's Transplantation of Human Organs Act (THOA). For deceased-donor organs on the national waiting list, foreign nationals are not eligible. MedicareSpots guides you through the legal documentation requirements.
Yes. For living-donor kidney or liver transplants, your donor undergoes a thorough medical and psychological evaluation at the hospital before the procedure. MedicareSpots arranges Medical Attendant Visas and travel coordination for your donor alongside yours.
Yes. India's organ transplant programme is regulated under the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA). All transplants must be approved by an authorisation committee at the hospital. Our partner hospitals are government-approved transplant centres with NABH and/or JCI accreditation — operating to the same international standards as top Western transplant centres.
Leading Indian transplant centres report 1-year graft survival rates of 93–96% for kidney transplants and 88–92% for liver transplants — consistent with published outcomes from top US and UK centres. Many senior transplant surgeons at our partner hospitals trained at institutions in the UK, USA, and Australia.
Kidney transplant patients typically stay 3–4 weeks total (10–14 days in hospital, remainder for observation before travel clearance). Liver transplant patients usually need 4–6 weeks. BMT patients may need 6–10 weeks on-site depending on engraftment. Your transplant team will confirm travel clearance before you fly.
All organ transplant recipients require lifelong immunosuppressant medication to prevent rejection. Your transplant team will prescribe the protocol before discharge. These medications are widely available internationally. MedicareSpots can assist with coordination of your first supply and guidance on sourcing them at home.
