Salient Features:

• Swap transplants, also known as Kidney-Paired Transplants (KPT), is a procedure that involves two renal failure patients with willing but medically incompatible donors to exchange or swap their donors with each other, allowing both the patients to receive compatible kidneys.

• NOTTO has advocated for nationwide implementation of this technique to expand the donor pool and has also called for a uniform "One Nation One Swap Transplant Programme" for facilitation of transplants across India.

• Currently, AIIMS Raipur has completed 54 successful kidney transplantation with 95% graft survival and 97% patient survival rates.

The institute was also the first in the state to conduct the Pediatric Kidney Transplantation as well as the Deceased Donor Organ Donation.
