About the Department

Renal Transplant services were started in 1995.We are pioneers to start Cadaver kidney Transplantation and organ sharing program voluntarily as early as in 1996. We have completed around 900 transplants which includes cadaveric transplants. We have voluntarily initiated the program of organ sharing within city hospitals as early as in 1995 when we sent a kidney to poor patient in Government General Hospital Chennai.

Our department is one of the largest centers for Cadaveric transplant in India. We for the first time utilized snake bite victims as successful renal donors in the country and to perform successful HIV renal transplant for first time in the country.
