How we selected these hospitals
A hospital appears on this page when Liver Transplant & HPB is among its listed specialties and it is located in India. Hospitals are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows the listed rating (highest first), the same field shown on each hospital's profile.
How to Select the Best Hospital for Lung Transplant in India?
Choosing the right hospital for lung transplant is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:
International Accreditation
Look for a hospital with international accreditation such as JCI or NABH — see the accreditation badges shown for each hospital below.
Specialization
Check that the hospital's listed specialties actually include liver transplant & hpb rather than only general care.
Capacity and Track Record
Bed count and year established (shown below for each hospital) are a reasonable proxy for scale and operating experience.
Transparent Costs
Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — hospital charges, room category and stay — before you travel. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
Understanding Lung Transplant
A lung transplant is a life-saving surgical procedure in which one or both diseased lungs are replaced with healthy donor lungs, indicated for end-stage pulmonary conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Clinical Overview
- End-stage lung disease represents irreversible, progressive destruction of pulmonary parenchyma or vasculature that renders conventional medical therapy ineffective.
- In conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the alveolar architecture is replaced by fibrotic scar tissue, precipitating a catastrophic decline in diffusion capacity (DLCO) and forced vital capacity (FVC).
- In COPD and emphysema, hyperinflation and bullous destruction eliminate effective gas exchange surface area.
Who is a Candidate?
- ELIGIBLE CONDITIONS: End-stage COPD/emphysema (FEV1 < 20% predicted with homogeneous distribution or DLCO < 20%), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (FVC < 80% or DLCO < 40% with 10% decline over 6 months), cystic fibrosis (FEV1 < 30% predicted), pulmonary arterial hypertension refractory to prostacyclin therapy, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), and re-transplantation for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD/BOS).
- FUNCTIONAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: NYHA/WHO functional class III–IV; resting or exertional oxygen dependence; significant functional limitation despite maximal medical therapy; estimated 2-year mortality > 50% without transplant (assessed using disease-specific risk scores such as the BODE index for COPD or the GAP model for IPF).
- REQUIRED DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP (PRE-TRANSPLANT EVALUATION): High-resolution CT (HRCT) chest, full pulmonary function tests (spirometry, body plethysmography, DLCO), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), right heart catheterization, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE/ECHO) with Doppler, coronary angiography (patients > 40 years or with cardiac risk factors), V/Q scintigraphy, arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, complete metabolic panel, renal and hepatic function tests, HLA typing and crossmatch, CMV/EBV/HIV/HBV/HCV serology, bone density scan (DEXA), and psychosocial assessment.
- ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS: Active malignancy within the past 2 years (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers), severe non-pulmonary organ dysfunction (renal GFR < 40 mL/min, hepatic cirrhosis, significant coronary artery disease not amenable to revascularization), active extrapulmonary infection including tuberculosis, documented non-adherence to medical regimens, active tobacco/substance use within 6 months, and uncontrolled psychiatric illness.

Treatment Options & Approaches
- BILATERAL SEQUENTIAL LUNG TRANSPLANT (BSLT — GOLD STANDARD): The preferred technique for most diagnoses including COPD, CF, and PAH.
- The recipient undergoes sequential replacement of each lung through a clamshell (bilateral anterolateral thoracotomy) or bilateral thoracosternotomy incision.
- Each bronchial, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary vein anastomosis is completed individually.
Recovery
- PHASE 1 — REMOTE PRE-EVALUATION (WEEKS 1–3): GAF Healthcare coordinates the transfer of all prior medical records, imaging (HRCT, PFTs, ECHO, right heart catheterization), and laboratory results to the chosen transplant center.
- The transplant pulmonologist and cardiothoracic surgeon conduct a telemedicine consultation to determine candidacy and provisional listing status.
- A detailed cost estimate and logistical plan are provided.
Risks to be aware of
- Lung transplantation carries significant perioperative and long-term risks that every patient must understand before proceeding.
- Primary graft dysfunction (PGD), a form of ischemia-reperfusion injury affecting the donor lung within 72 hours of transplant, occurs in up to 25% of recipients and is the leading cause of early mortality; severe PGD (Grade 3) may require ECMO support and carries a 30-day mortality of 40–50%.
Why GAF Healthcare
- GAF Healthcare provides a seamlessly coordinated non-medical support infrastructure designed to eliminate logistical friction for international patients undergoing lung transplantation in India or the UAE.
