A New Chance for a Healthier, Longer Life
Expert liver transplant care with advanced technology, a multidisciplinary team and a compassionate approach — because every life matters.

A liver transplant is a life-saving operation in which a diseased liver is replaced with a healthy liver — either a part of the liver from a living donor (usually a family member) or a whole liver from a deceased donor.
It is the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease and certain acute liver conditions when medicines and other treatments can no longer support the liver.

A liver transplant may be recommended for:






A patient-focused approach for the best outcomes.
Complete check-up of the patient and assessment of the donor.
Performed by an experienced transplant team.
Close monitoring in the ICU and ward for a safe recovery.
Medicines, check-ups and support for a healthy, active life.
Expertise. Compassion. Better Outcomes.
Focused experience in complex liver, pancreas, bile duct and transplant surgery.
Laparoscopic and robotic surgery with modern imaging and operating theatres.
A treatment plan built around each patient’s condition, health and goals.
Careful patient selection and protocols aimed at the safest possible result.
Hepatologists, anaesthetists, intensivists and nurses working as one team.
Structured follow-up and recovery guidance after you go home.
A liver transplant is recommended for patients with end-stage liver disease, liver cirrhosis, acute liver failure, or certain liver cancers when the liver can no longer function properly. Dr. Waliullah Siddiqui carries out a detailed evaluation to decide whether a transplant is the most suitable treatment.
Liver transplant is a major operation, but in an experienced transplant centre with a dedicated team it is a well-established and safe treatment. Careful evaluation of both patient and donor, modern surgical techniques and intensive post-operative care reduce the risks significantly.
A living donor is usually a healthy adult family member, typically between 18 and 55 years, with a compatible blood group and a healthy liver. Every donor goes through a complete medical and psychological evaluation, and their safety is the first priority.
Most patients stay in hospital for 2–3 weeks and gradually return to normal daily activities within 3–6 months. Regular follow-up visits, medicines and a healthy lifestyle are key to a successful long-term recovery.
Yes. Most transplant recipients return to work, family life and everyday activities. Taking anti-rejection medicines as prescribed, attending follow-ups and keeping a balanced lifestyle are essential.
