Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the cost of paediatric liver transplant in India?

A: Paediatric liver transplant at Medanta The Medicity under Dr. Neelam Mohan’s programme costs approximately $22,000 to $32,000 USD including pre-transplant workup, surgery, 4 to 6 weeks of hospital stay, and initial post-operative monitoring. This represents a saving of $60,000 to $90,000 compared to Germany or USA.

Q: Can a Kazakhstan child with biliary atresia come to India for treatment?

A: Yes. Biliary atresia is one of the most common reasons for paediatric liver transplantation. Early referral is critical, as outcomes are significantly better when transplantation is performed before advanced cirrhosis develops. Send the child’s liver function tests, ultrasound, and biopsy report to MediKaya Healthcare immediately for urgent review.

Q: Who can be a liver donor for my child?

A: In most cases, a parent serves as the living donor for a paediatric liver transplant, donating a small segment of their liver (left lobe or left lateral segment). The donor undergoes extensive evaluation including blood group compatibility, liver anatomy assessment (CT volumetry), and medical fitness testing before being approved.

Q: How long does a paediatric liver transplant patient need to stay in India?

A: Children typically stay in India for 6 to 10 weeks following liver transplantation. The donor parent stays for 4 to 5 weeks. After return home, follow-up is coordinated with a local paediatric gastroenterologist and Dr. Mohan’s team provides ongoing guidance remotely.

Q: Is Dr. Neelam Mohan available for online consultation before we travel to India?

A: Yes. Send the child’s medical records — liver function tests, ultrasound/MRI abdomen, biopsy results if available, and growth charts — to MediKaya Healthcare. We will arrange a telemedicine consultation with Dr. Mohan’s team within 48 to 72 hours for an initial assessment.
