Organ transplanted in 19-year-old AP girl with congenital lung condition
Specialist doctors at the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Panjagutta, performed lung transplantation on a 19-year-old girl from Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The procedure was the first such to be done at a government health facility in Telangana.
Doctors said lung transplantation is rarely conducted at any government facility in the country. The organ was harvested from a 47-year-old woman from Secunderabad.
Transplantation costs ₹50 lakh to ₹1 crore depending on the medical services a patient requires. The 19-year-old recipient did not have to pay money for the procedure at NIMS. It was funded — around ₹12 lakh — under Aarogyasri Health Scheme.
