AIIMS Raipur became the first government hospital in Chhattisgarh to successfully perform a Swap Kidney Transplant, setting a new benchmark in the state’s medical capabilities. This significant procedure allows two pairs of incompatible kidney donors and recipients to exchange organs, thereby increasing the potential for successful transplants by around 15%. Beyond this, AIIMS Raipur has also led the way in pioneering deceased donor organ donation and paediatric kidney transplantation within the region. These achievements reflect the hospital’s growing role in advancing complex surgical procedures and improving healthcare access in central India.
