Medical facilities in India are expanding renal healthcare and transplantation capabilities. In the Gwalior-Chambal division, the Gwalior Super Specialty Hospital achieved a milestone by performing the first kidney transplant in a government hospital within the region. The procedure was conducted under the Ayushman Yojana scheme, allowing the surgery to be provided free of charge.

Following this, healthcare providers have continued to broaden specialized services. Max Super Specialty Hospital launched a Kidney Transplant Program and Nephrology OPD in Gwalior to provide local kidney health management. Additionally, Shalby Hospital in Surat reported completing 25 kidney transplants over a 12-month period, including complex procedures such as private swap kidney transplants and ABO-incompatible transplants.
