Puducherry, 11 Feb 2026: East Coast Hospitals, Puducherry, has reached a significant milestone by successfully completing 50+ kidney transplant surgeries in Puducherry, further reinforcing its leadership in advanced tertiary healthcare and supporting the Government of Puducherry’s vision of positioning the Union Territory as a major medical hub.
This achievement reflects the hospital’s growing expertise in nephrology services and renal transplant care, backed by modern infrastructure, high-standard critical care support, and a dedicated multidisciplinary transplant team.
All renal transplant surgeries at East Coast Hospitals are performed in strict adherence to the guidelines of the NOTTO (National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation) & SOTTO (State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation), ensuring ethical practices, transparent donor evaluation, and the highest standards of patient safety.
