Special Highlight or Distinctiveness of Department

National Organ and Tissue Transplant Programme (NOTP):

The shortage of organ and tissue donors for patients requiring transplants is a global problem and is more pronounced in India. A huge gap exists between the number of patients who need organ or tissue transplants and the availability of the same. Moreover, these facilities are available only at metropolitan cities & corporate hospitals which a poor man from rural area can neither access nor afford. To bridge the gap, MGM Medical College & Hospital, Aurangabad, established a Kidney transplant centre which received approval in 2010 by the Government of Maharashtra to conduct organ transplantation.

• The first living donor kidney transplant was carried out in 2011.
• Numerous public awareness programs for organ donation are conducted.
