Abstract:
Lung transplantation (LTx) is the definitive treatment for select progressive end-stage lung disease patients despite being on optimum medical therapy. Asian countries like China, Japan and India have started LTx programmes despite various odds and challenges. Some of these challenges seem to be unique to developing countries. We have elaborated the challenges of LTx in India and their proposed solutions and shared our experience in setting up a successful LTx programme.
