Sikkim Opens First Organ Transplant Centre, Milestone for State Healthcare

The state government inaugurated Sikkim’s first organ transplant centre in a ceremony attended by senior officials and medical experts. The new facility, located in the capital region, is equipped to perform kidney, liver, heart and lung transplants. It is part of a broader national strategy to expand access to transplant services across India. By providing advanced surgical care locally, the centre aims to reduce waiting lists and improve survival rates for patients in the northeastern state.
