Get Free ConsultationIndia performs more living-donor liver transplants than almost any other country, with some of its transplant surgeons individually credited with thousands of procedures — but transplant law for foreign patients works differently here than at home.
Partial liver transplant from a living, related donor — India's area of particular surgical strength.
Living-donor kidney transplant for end-stage renal disease.
For blood cancers and certain immune and metabolic conditions.

MedTrav coordinates transplant referrals from Bangladesh, Iraq & the Gulf (Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar), CIS Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan), Africa (Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda), the Maldives and Fiji, matching each case to an accredited Indian hospital with the right sub-specialty depth — not just the nearest available bed.
Transplant is one of the most common reasons patients from Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Iraq are referred to India, often through government Treatment Abroad programmes once a compatible family donor has been identified.

What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: Transplant quotes online vary wildly ($13,000 to $50,000+) mainly because some cover surgery only, while others bundle donor evaluation, immunosuppressant medication and a longer follow-up stay. MedTrav's estimate itemises exactly what is and isn't included — donor work-up, ICU days, and post-discharge medication — before you commit to travel.
Based on USD 1,000 and approximate September 2026 exchange rates — these move daily and are shown only as a rough reference. Your written estimate and final invoice are always confirmed in USD; your bank or card network sets the exact conversion at the time you pay.
Legal note for foreign patients: Under India's Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA), international patients must bring their own living donor — typically a near relative such as a parent, spouse, sibling or child. Deceased-donor organs are legally reserved for Indian residents on the national transplant waiting list. MedTrav helps prepare the donor documentation and any additional government authorisation required before you travel. This is general information, not legal advice — see our Compliance & Trust page for our full regulatory framework.
These are not the only hospitals in the network — they're the ones MedTrav most often matches to transplant cases based on sub-specialty depth and case volume.

No. Under India's Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA), foreign nationals must bring their own living donor — typically a near relative. Deceased-donor organs are legally reserved for Indian residents on the national waiting list.
A living-donor kidney transplant typically costs $12,000–$18,000 all-inclusive in 2026, confirmed exactly once donor compatibility is established.
Living-donor liver transplant packages typically range from $25,000 to $40,000, depending on case complexity and hospital.
Indian law defines specific “near relative” categories (such as parent, spouse, sibling or child) as automatically eligible; other donors require additional government authorisation committee approval, which MedTrav helps document in advance.
