Jyotsna Verma from the field of Liver Transplant in India is working to help liver disease patients

, and those in need of Liver transplant. She is working to promote Organ Donation awareness too with HOPE trust. Human Organ Procurement and Education Trust.

The cost of liver transplant surgery in India varies between 15-25 lacs from institute to institute. Successrate of liver transplant is same in all the centres of India.

Liver transplantation is the only option for patients with decompensate end-stage cirrhosis and in many cases of Fulminant Hepatic Failure or Acute Liver Failure, also in patient with non resectable HCCs. Most patients return to a normal active life style within 36 months. After the first human orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in 1963, the procedure has become a standard therapeutic procedure world-wide. In India, liver transplant programs have been seriously obstructed by the lack of finances and cadaver donors. Seldom, by emotional decisions by the recipients by not accepting organ from their near-ones. Lack of cadaver donors in India limits the number of patients who can receive this life-saving procedure. Due to this problem Transplant surgeons in care of these patients have endeavoured to perform transplants with partial liver grafts from healthy, volunteer live donors, particularly a family donor in India as per HOTA. Approximately 8500 living donor liver transplants have been performed worldwide. Scale of LDLT is much larger than Cadaver / LDLT surpasses cadaveric liver transplants by a remarkable margin. In last six years our centre has performed more than 500 LDLTs.

After working as a Senior Transplant Coordinator in renowned centres of Liver Transplant in India with reputed surgeons and with the experience of dealing with about 10000 liver disease patients and personally coordinating about 600 liver transplants in India, I started feeling that I should provide the benefit of my experience to all the patients in need for Liver Transplant and not restrict myself to a single Team, Centre or Area. In past Decade, India has become an attraction for Medical Tourism specially for Liver Transplant because of 'Low Cost and High Success Rate'.

A new Liver gives a new life and a well informed decision gives a successful Liver Transplant and complete satisfaction to the patient. The Patient and his family need to have proper Guidance and Education regarding Liver Disease and Liver Transplant procedure before going for this major undertaking. I want to help, guide and educate such patients through my experience as a Liver Transplant Coordinator and to share the moments faced by the patients in their Pre, Peri and Post transplant Period
