Please note that WorldMed Assist can only facilitate live kidney transplants. This means that every recipient needs to find a suitable donor willing to donate part of their liver. In the countries that we work with, it is illegal to do transplants, including kidney transplants, on foreigners unless they bring a donor. We strictly adhere to these regulations and cannot make any exceptions.
