The most living donor transplants performed in the world




Living donor transplants -- used increasingly for pancreas, liver, intestinal, islet, lung and kidney transplant patients -- are the best options for organ transplantation. They offer better outcomes.

Our Program performed the first living donor kidney transplant in the region in 1963. Since that time, over 3,000 living donors have donated whole or partial organs in our program.
