Living Donor Kidney Transplant in India: Legal & Medical Guide

By HealYourTrip Medical Team · Reviewed by a specialist

Indian Transplant Law (THOA)

The Transplantation of Human Organs Act regulates all transplants in India. For international patients, the living donor must be a close blood relative (spouse, parent, sibling, child, grandparent) and every case requires Government NOC.

Success Rates

One-year graft survival at top Indian centres exceeds 95%.

Cost

Living-donor kidney transplant: $12,000–$20,000 all-inclusive.

Timeline

Pre-transplant work-up 7–10 days, surgery, hospital stay 7–10 days, total India stay 4–6 weeks.
