RESEARCH

AIMS has been recognized by the Kerala Government, Human Organ Transplant Act 1995, for performing both live donor and cadaveric renal transplantations. The programme assimilates the most modern technology for the benefit of patients. Dr VN Unni, HOD, Consultant, AIMS Nephrology Dept., has long been looking forward to a kidney transplant programme at AIMS. Dr Unni says, "The only real cure for end stage renal failure is transplant surgery. Given any number of dialysis machines, there will always be a maximum capacity for numbers of patients that can be treated by dialysis by any institution. When a dialysis patient receives a transplant, the dialysis machines are available to another patient in need."
