transplant recipients story was covered by The
Week Magazine in January 2014 as the cover
story. He is leading a normal life 16 years

milestones have been achieved. In 2012, 1200
solid organ transplants in children and adults
(840 kidney and 360 liver) were performed. The
Apollo Trans- plant Program thus became the
first transplant program in the world to perform
more than 1000 transplants in a year and Apollo
Delhi the busiest solid organ transplant centre
in the world by performing 813 transplants (269
liver, 544 kidney). Apollo Delhi has remained
the busiest solid organ transplant programme in
the world for 4 consecutive years since 2012. In
2016, 1440 transplants in adults and children
