Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH) in Peshawar has launched a free Kidney Transplant service, providing new hope to patients suffering from serious kidney diseases. The hospital marked the beginning of the facility by successfully performing its first Kidney Transplant operation.
According to hospital officials, the first procedure involved a brother donating one of his kidneys to his brother. The operation was completed successfully, and both the donor and recipient responded well to treatment after surgery.
The hospital administration stated that both individuals remained in stable condition during recovery. After receiving medical care and observation, they were discharged from the hospital in satisfactory health.
Officials described the successful operation as an important milestone for the hospital. They said the introduction of the Kidney Transplant facility will help improve access to advanced healthcare services for patients who require life-saving treatment.
The newly launched service will be offered free of charge. This is expected to provide significant relief to patients who often face high medical expenses related to transplant procedures. Many families struggle to afford specialized treatment, making free services an important step toward improving healthcare accessibility.
Hospital authorities said the initiative aims to support deserving patients from across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and nearby regions. By offering free Kidney Transplant procedures, the hospital hopes to reduce the financial burden on patients and improve treatment outcomes.
Medical experts believe kidney transplantation remains one of the most effective treatment options for patients suffering from end-stage kidney disease. However, the cost of surgery and long-term care often prevents many patients from receiving timely treatment.
The launch of this facility at Khyber Teaching Hospital represents a major development in public healthcare services. It also highlights efforts to expand specialized medical care within government hospitals.
Hospital officials expressed confidence that the programme will benefit many patients in the coming years. They added that the successful first transplant demonstrates the hospital’s ability to provide high-quality transplant services.
