Know the rules before you plan

This is not negotiable

Buying or selling organs is a crime in India and in many other countries. Najmcare does not find, pay or arrange donors, and we will not help with anything that does. Every transplant must be voluntary, ethical and legally approved.

Living donor

For foreign patients, the donor is generally a close relative, such as a spouse, parent, child or sibling. The relationship must be proved with documents.

Authorisation committee

A hospital committee reviews the case, the documents and the donor’s free consent. Without approval, surgery cannot go ahead.

Deceased-donor organs

These go through a national allocation system, with priority for Indian citizens. Foreign patients generally should not expect access, so ask the hospital about the current position.

Donor safety

The donor has their own medical review, and an independent check that they are acting freely. The donor’s health matters as much as the patient’s.

Rules for foreign nationals change. Always confirm the current requirements with the transplant hospital and your embassy before you travel.

Transplants we help with

Choose a transplant to see how it works and what to expect.

What would it cost?

Indicative package prices in US dollars for living-donor transplants, excluding long-term medicines.

Estimates for comparison only. Non-India figures are typical billed charges, which may differ from what insurers pay. Real prices depend on the hospital, donor and any complications. Ask for a written quote.

Documents checklist

Tick what you already have. Hospitals and authorities often ask for most of these, so starting early saves time. Requirements vary, so we confirm the exact list for your case.

    Your progress

    Documents from abroad usually need to be attested or legalised, and some may need translation. Your coordinator will explain what is needed for your country.

    Care before, during and after

    Transplant is a long journey, not a single operation.

    Detailed evaluation

    Blood, imaging, heart and infection checks for patient and donor, to confirm a safe match.

    Minimally invasive donor surgery

    Keyhole or robotic techniques for many kidney donors can mean less pain and quicker recovery.

    Transplant ICU

    Specialised intensive care with careful monitoring in the first days after surgery.

    Anti-rejection medicines

    Immunosuppressants are taken for life, with regular blood tests to adjust the dose.

    Rehabilitation and diet

    Guidance on nutrition, activity and infection prevention while the new organ settles.

    Long-term follow-up

    Regular check-ups, often shared with your home doctor, to protect the transplant for years.

    Questions people ask

    Can a foreigner have a transplant in India?

    Often yes, usually with a living related donor and full legal approval. Rules are strict and can change, so confirm them with the hospital before you plan. Deceased-donor organs are allocated first to Indian citizens.

    Who can be my donor?

    Usually a close relative who is medically fit, compatible and willing, with no pressure or payment. Blood group, tissue match and the donor’s own health decide suitability.

    Can you find me a donor?

    No. We do not find, pay or arrange donors. Paid donation is illegal and unsafe for everyone involved. If no suitable related donor is available, the transplant team will discuss any legal alternatives.

    How long will I stay in India?

    Usually about 3 to 4 weeks for a kidney transplant, 4 to 6 weeks for a liver transplant, and 2 to 3 months or more for a bone marrow transplant. Your team gives you a clearer timeline after evaluation.

    Is it safe for the donor?

    Donor surgery is major surgery and carries risks. The donor receives full tests and an independent check, and can change their mind at any time. Most healthy donors recover well, but the risks are real.

    What happens after I go home?

    You take anti-rejection medicines for life and have regular blood tests. Your home doctor can often manage these with advice from the transplant team.

    Do you promise success?

    No. Outcomes depend on your health, the organ and many other factors. We help you reach experienced teams and clear, honest information.

    After a transplant, call your team or go to emergency if you have fever, pain or swelling over the new organ, much less urine than usual, yellow skin or eyes, or shortness of breath. These can be signs of infection or rejection and need quick care.
    Important to know. Transplant is a major decision with serious risks, including rejection and infection. This page is general information and does not replace advice from a transplant team.
