Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) has taken a major step in healthcare by launching free Kidney Transplant services in Peshawar. The hospital marked the beginning of the program with its first successful Kidney Transplant operation, providing hope to patients suffering from severe kidney diseases.
According to hospital officials, the inaugural procedure involved a brother donating one of his kidneys to his brother. The operation was carried out successfully by the medical team at KTH, demonstrating the hospital’s capability to perform complex transplant surgeries.
Hospital administration confirmed that both the donor and the recipient remained in stable and satisfactory condition after the surgery. Medical staff closely monitored their recovery following the procedure and reported positive progress. After receiving the necessary post-operative care, both individuals were discharged from the hospital.
Officials stated that the introduction of free Kidney Transplant services is aimed at helping patients who are unable to afford the high costs associated with transplantation procedures. By offering the treatment at no charge, the hospital hopes to make life-saving medical care accessible to a larger number of people.
The administration noted that many patients with advanced kidney disease face financial challenges when seeking treatment. The new facility is expected to reduce that burden and provide deserving patients with an opportunity to receive quality healthcare without worrying about expensive medical expenses.
Healthcare experts believe the initiative will strengthen specialized medical services in the region and improve treatment options for patients requiring organ transplantation. The successful completion of the first procedure has also highlighted the expertise of the hospital’s medical team and its commitment to enhancing patient care.
The launch of the free Kidney Transplant program is being viewed as an important development for the healthcare sector in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Hospital authorities expressed confidence that the service will benefit many patients in the future and contribute to better health outcomes for people suffering from kidney-related illnesses across the province.
