Patna: The first outpatient clinic for people who need liver transplant opened at the Institute of Medical Sciences Indira Gandhi (IGIM) on Patna on Saturday.
“OPD services will only be available on Saturday when doctors from all allied branches will examine patients and decide whether they need transplants or not,” Head of the Surgical Gastroenterology Department and liver transplantation, said this reporter, to this reporter, added that only two patients were undergo a liver transplant in the hospital to date.
The doctor connects the slow liver transplant rate to IGIM at a high cost (Rs 10 lakh) and a lack of donors.
He, however, shows that the cost is almost doubled in private health facilities in the country.
The data distributed by Igims stated that at least 200 Bihar people needed immediate liver transplants, but they were unable to pay Rs 10 lakh to hospital authorities.
“If the government is developed and bear the burden, a large amount of life will be saved,” said Dr.
Mandal.
