What the chamber can do
Review your reports honestly and tell you where things stand. Make sure everything that can be treated is being treated. If a transplant assessment makes sense, explain what the transplant team will look at, help you gather the documents they will ask for, and point you to a centre that performs the surgery.
Padma Liver Foundation does not carry out transplant surgery and does not arrange donors. Decisions about eligibility, donor safety and timing rest with the transplant centre.

Common questions
Can I arrange a transplant through the foundation?
No. We can assess, advise and refer. The transplant centre decides eligibility and carries out the surgery.
