Dear Shaik Habeeba Ji,


Liver transplant treatment is a major medical procedure, and it is completely understandable to ask whether support through the Ayushman card is available. Patients and families dealing with serious liver disease often feel emotionally, physically, and financially stressed while planning treatment and transplant-related care.


Can Liver Transplant Be Done Under Ayushman Bharat?


 Yes , Ayushman Bharat – PMJAY may provide coverage for selected advanced treatments at eligible empanelled hospitals, depending on:

  • Patient eligibility
  • Hospital empanelment
  • Medical necessity
  • PMJAY package approval
  • State policy and package availability

Liver transplant related treatment availability can vary between hospitals and states, so direct hospital verification is very important.
