Centres told to share kidney transplantshare kidney transplant survival rates with patients
India's National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation ordered all hospitals to publish kidney transplant survival rates, deaths, and graft failures to help patients choose treatment centers.
This ends a system where patients lacked performance data before surgery, aiming to improve accountability and informed decision-making across the country's healthcare system.
- India performed over 10,000 kidney transplants in 2025, with success rates varying significantly between urban and rural centers.
- The first successful kidney transplant in India was conducted in 1963 at Madras Institute of Oriental Medicine.
- Public disclosure of medical outcome data has been mandated in healthcare systems like the US since the 1990s to drive quality improvement.
