The liver transplant facility at the BMC-run King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital will be up and running in two weeks after a three-year hiatus. This development comes as an immediate relief to at least 23 individuals who are on the waitlist for a transplant at the hospital.
The facility had come to a halt when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak. “Our license had also expired, so it had to be renewed. We received a fresh license about six months ago. Now, we also have the provision to perform both cadaveric and living donor transplants,” stated hospital authorities. Renovation works were necessary, along with the addition of manpower and other resources in the gastrointestinal department.
