AIIMS Bathinda to roll out Renal transplant centre
Bathinda: AIIMS Bathinda is all set to launch Punjab’s first-ever renal transplant centre, marking a significant step forward in government healthcare services. The renal transplant program is anticipated to commence by the end of March after securing approval from the state government.
In the initial phase, only blood-related relatives will be accepted as donors for live renal transplants. This development addresses the absence of renal transplant services in public sector hospitals in Punjab. Associate professor in the urology department and transplant surgeon, Dr Kawaljit Singh Kaura will be serving as the nodal officer of the upcoming project and he told the Daily that during the second phase, the institute will initiate cadaveric transplants which will aim at harvesting kidneys from a brain-dead person with consent.
