Kidney treatment

Living Donor Transplant

Most transplants arranged for international patients involve a living related donor. The donor's safety is assessed as carefully as the recipient's.

Who can donate

Donors must be medically fit, fully informed, and donating voluntarily without payment. Relationship documentation is verified.

Donor evaluation

A separate work-up confirms the donor has two healthy kidneys and no condition that makes donation unsafe.

Ethics and consent

Independent authorisation committees review living donor cases. We never facilitate arrangements outside this framework.

  • Voluntary, unpaid donation only
  • Independent committee review
  • Donor may withdraw at any stage

Life after donating

Donors are followed up too. Long-term guidance on blood pressure, hydration and monitoring is part of the discharge plan.
