Kidney transplantation is often the most effective long-term treatment for end-stage renal disease, and Hasheminejad Hospital has established itself as one of Iran’s leading centres for this life-changing procedure.

Iran operates a unique and internationally recognised model for kidney donation, which includes both living-related and living-unrelated donation — a system that has helped thousands of patients receive transplants who might otherwise have waited years or never received one at all.

The Transplant Journey at Hasheminejad

The hospital’s transplant programme is overseen by a multidisciplinary team of transplant surgeons, nephrologists, immunologists, and specialist nursing staff. The process is thorough and carefully managed:

Surgical procedure — performed by highly experienced transplant surgeons using advanced techniques
Post-operative care — intensive monitoring in the immediate post-transplant period
