To commemorate this achievement, the Department of Renal Sciences, Center of Excellence, hosted a “Felicitation Program – Honouring the Hands Behind Kidney Transplants.” The event was graced by Chief Guest Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, Hon’ble Governor of Telangana, who felicitated the Kidney Care Champions and Donors at this prestigious Renal Transplants Milestone.

The event, titled “Kidney Care Champions: 300 & Beyond,” featured inspiring patient stories, heartfelt testimonials, and acknowledgments of the dedicated multidisciplinary teams who made this milestone possible.

A Legacy of Excellence in Kidney Transplantation

Yashoda Hospitals has emerged as one of India’s leading centers for kidney transplantation, achieving over 3,500 successful kidney transplants across its units. The Hitec City unit alone has accomplished 300+ transplants in just 36 months, reaffirming its expertise, world-class infrastructure, and leadership in Renal Sciences.

This milestone also coincides with the recognition of Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, as a Center of Excellence in RRT in ICU (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy) by the international body CRRT Inc., reaffirming its position as a global leader in critical care nephrology.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. G. S. Rao, Managing Director, Yashoda Hospitals, said:

“We are thrilled to celebrate this momentous milestone of 300+ kidney transplants at Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, in just 36 months. Our multidisciplinary team—comprising nephrologists, transplant surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nursing staff—has worked relentlessly with utmost dedication to ensure optimal outcomes for every patient. Each transplant is not just a medical success but a story of renewed hope and life. We remain steadfast in our mission to make world-class kidney transplant care accessible to all and to continue pushing boundaries in the field of organ transplantation.”

Dr. Rajasekara Chakravarthi, Clinical Director and Head of Nephrology, Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, added:

“Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has become a silent global health crisis. In India alone, it is estimated that 1 in 10 adults suffers from some form of kidney disease, and over two lakh people develop end-stage kidney failure every year, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of patients receive transplants due to lack of awareness, late diagnosis, and donor shortages.”
“Common causes include diabetes, hypertension, chronic infections, and lifestyle-related factors such as obesity, smoking, and excessive use of painkillers. Yashoda Hospitals continues to emphasize early screening, preventive nephrology, and community education to reduce the growing burden of kidney disease in India and beyond,” Dr. Chakravarthi said.
