Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.Can Apollo perform a transplant if I do not have a matched donor?
Yes. For kidney transplants, ABO incompatible transplants are available using specialised desensitisation protocols, meaning a transplant is possible even without a blood matched donor.
For patients with no living donor, Apollo is registered with India's organ allocation system and is one of the most active recipients of deceased donor organs in the country.
Share your blood type, crossmatch results, and donor situation with My 1Health for specific guidance.

Is Apollo safe for organ transplants, and what are the success rates?
Apollo has a confirmed 90%+ success rate across kidney, liver, and multi organ transplants, backed by 20,000+ solid organ procedures.
It has been the world's busiest solid organ transplant programme since 2013.
Apollo performed India's first kidney transplant (1984), first adult liver transplant (1998), and first paediatric liver transplant (1998).
The child who received that 1998 paediatric transplant qualified as a doctor in 2021.
What does organ transplant cost for international patients at Apollo?
Costs vary by organ type, complexity, living versus deceased donor, length of stay, and clinical needs.
Kidney, liver, BMT, heart, lung, pancreas, corneal, and intestinal transplants each carry different cost structures.
India is considerably lower than equivalent care in the USA, UK, Germany, or the Gulf, with equivalent volumes, success rates, and accreditation.
Share your reports with My 1Health for a written estimate before any travel decision.
What makes Apollo different from other transplant hospitals in India?
Apollo has performed 21,000+ solid organ transplants and holds every major Indian transplant first:
- First kidney (1984)
- First adult and paediatric liver (1998)
- First combined heart and liver in Asia (2015)
- First private sector pancreas transplant (2016)

The network spans 21 transplant centres, meaning patients from Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar can access Apollo Kolkata or Guwahati rather than travelling to Delhi or Mumbai.
Apollo Navi Mumbai's transplant team has published 400+ peer reviewed papers.
