Arunachal Pradesh marked a significant medical milestone by successfully conducting its first kidney transplant at the Tawang Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (TRIHMS). The operation, carried out by the institute’s surgical team, represents a major step forward for the state’s healthcare infrastructure.

The transplant is expected to set a precedent for future organ transplant procedures in the state, potentially reducing the need for patients to travel to other states for such treatments.
