Liver Transplant waiting times

Currently, more than 17000 people are on the waiting list for a liver transplant in the US. We have been able to get patients from first contact to life saving surgery in a matter of 3 weeks.

Liver Transplant Costs

In addition to reducing waiting times, WorldMed Assist can also reduce the costs for liver transplant dramatically. Whereas costs in the US are often in excess of $350,000, costs for liver transplant in India will be less than $60,000.

Liver transplant preparation before you leave the US

Before you leave the US, we need to get all of the pertinent records of the recipient. We can tell you exactly what those records are. Your records will allow Dr. Gupta to medically qualify you.
Next to the donor qualifying medically, the requirement of having a donor that is closely related to the recipient is the most important requirement. The medical requirements are that the donor is between 18 and 55 years old and that the blood group is suitable. Additional medical requirements will be discussed in person.
Both recipient and donor will go through quite extensive testing prior to leaving for India. WorldMed Assist will guide you through the needed tests quickly. In addition to the medical tests, there also are many legalities that need to be fulfilled that are beyond the requirements for other types of surgeries. Again, WorldMed Assist can quickly assist you in gathering the correct paperwork.

Liver Transplant preparation in India

After your arrival in India, you and your donor will go through further testing. You will both also receive special diets to strengthen you for surgery. The surgery is of high risk and you will need your strength.

Liver Transplant Surgery

The surgery itself is complex and can take up to 19 hours to perform. Right after surgery both donor and recipient will be in separate ICU’s. The recipient will spend many days there. The donor is usually moved to a regular hospital room much quicker.

Liver Transplant Recovery

The recovery in India can be 1-2 months, depending on the specific circumstances. WorldMed Assist will make all the arrangements for you .
