In the past five years, the number of kidney transplants performed in Gujarat has surged by 60%, according to recent data.
The Gujarat health authorities report a 60% increase in kidney transplant surgeries over the last five years. This rise reflects expanded transplant programs across state‑run and private hospitals. While the exact numbers are not disclosed, the trend suggests improved donor registration and better surgical infrastructure. The state’s medical community credits coordinated efforts between government agencies and NGOs for boosting transplant rates. Continued focus on awareness and organ donation is expected to sustain this upward trajectory.
