Lalitpur, Nepal: KIST Transplant Centre, under KIST Teaching Hospital, has achieved another significant milestone in Nepal’s private healthcare sector by successfully performing a liver transplant on a five-year-old girl.
Following the transplant, the child received necessary post-transplant treatment and specialist monitoring before being successfully discharged from the hospital. Her health condition has been reported as stable and satisfactory.
The child’s 33-year-old mother donated a portion of her liver to give her daughter a new lease on life. The successful transplant marks an important achievement in pediatric transplant care in Nepal.
KIST Teaching Hospital Managing Director Dr. Abhishek Thapa said the achievement reflects the hospital’s commitment to expanding advanced transplant services in Nepal and providing patients with access to specialized treatment within the country.
The hospital stated that the success is not only a complex surgical achievement but also a story of a mother’s sacrifice, a family’s hope, and the dedication of the medical team involved in the child’s treatment.
KIST Transplant Centre provides transplant services through an experienced specialist team, advanced surgical facilities, critical care services, and coordinated multidisciplinary treatment.
According to the hospital, the successful pediatric liver transplant represents an important step toward expanding advanced transplant services for children and other complex cases within Nepal’s private healthcare sector, potentially reducing the need for patients to travel abroad for such treatment.
