NIMS Hyderabad Completes 2,000 Kidney Transplants, Majority Free of Cost

Since its first transplant in 1989, the program has grown steadily, with the last 500 transplants performed in just over three years. Approximately 95% of recipients underwent surgery free of cost under the Aarogyasri Healthcare Scheme and the Chief Minister's Relief Fund. Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy congratulated the medical team for their service and achievement. NIMS ranks third nationally behind Gujarat's IKDRC and Christian Medical College, Ludhiana.
