Dear Kajal ji,

Yes, liver transplant can be covered under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana (PM-JAY) in certain empanelled government and private hospitals — but only if the patient is eligible and the hospital is approved for liver transplant procedures under the Ayushman scheme.

🏥 In Delhi and Haryana (Rohtak), here’s what you need to know:

🔹 Delhi:
Some major government and private hospitals in Delhi are Ayushman empanelled and may provide liver transplant under the scheme, but availability depends on:

• Hospital approval for transplant under Ayushman

• Medical board evaluation

• Availability of donor and transplant unit

🔹 Rohtak (Haryana):
You can check with PGIMS Rohtak, one of the top government hospitals in Haryana. They may offer transplant services or refer to nearby Ayushman-authorised centres.

✅ Steps to check empanelled hospitals for liver transplant under Ayushman:

1. Visit: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in

2. Select State and District (e.g., Delhi, Rohtak)

3. In "Speciality", select Organ Transplant

4. Click Search to view the list of empanelled hospitals

💬 If you’d like, the HexaHealth team can help you:

Hello Islam Ji,

Kindly specify your exact concern regarding the kidney transplant.

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure where a diseased or failing kidney is replaced with a healthy kidney from a donor. This is often recommended for patients with end-stage kidney disease or severe chronic kidney failure when other treatments, like dialysis, are no longer effective in managing the condition.

Key Points:

1. Before a transplant, patients undergo extensive testing to ensure they are a good candidate. This includes blood tests, imaging, and compatibility matching with potential donors.

2. Types of Donors:

   • Living Donor: A kidney from a healthy, living person (often a relative or close match).
   • Deceased Donor: A kidney from a recently deceased person who opted for organ donation.

3. Procedure: The new kidney is surgically placed in the lower abdomen and connected to the blood vessels and bladder. The diseased kidneys are usually left in place unless there's an infection or other complications.

4. Recovery and Aftercare: Patients typically stay in the hospital for about 10-15 days post-surgery and require close follow-up. Immunosuppressive medications are necessary for life to prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney.

Kidney transplants have a high success rate and greatly improve quality of life, often eliminating the need for dialysis.
