Can a family member donate a lung to a foreign patient in India?
No — like heart transplant, a lung transplant can only come from a deceased (brain-dead) donor. There is no living-donor pathway for this surgery.
How does the donor-matching process work for a lung transplant in India?
Deceased organ donation is coordinated through India's National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) and state-level registries. When a brain-dead donor's family consents to donation, lungs are matched to waiting recipients by blood group, chest/body size compatibility, and medical urgency. We help register patients with more than one accredited transplant centre where hospital policy allows, to improve the odds and speed of finding a match.
Will I need a single or double lung transplant?
This depends on your specific condition, which the transplant team determines during your pre-transplant workup based on your imaging, pulmonary function tests, and diagnosis. We'll have a clear answer for you after your reports are reviewed.
How long is the recovery before I can fly home after a lung transplant?
Most transplant centres require 2–3 months in India after discharge for close follow-up, pulmonary rehabilitation, and immunosuppression stabilisation before it's safe to travel long-haul.
