Liver surgery · Uzbekistan
Why families travel from Central Asia
Advanced liver surgery and transplantation need a high-volume team, a liver ICU and blood-bank support that many hospitals in the region cannot offer. India has become the region's referral centre, and Delhi NCR — a direct flight from Tashkent — its most accessible hub.
Before they travelled
Reports and scans were reviewed on WhatsApp, a treatment plan and estimate were shared, and the medical-visa invitation letter was issued. An interpreter was arranged so that every conversation — consent, risks, recovery — happened in a language the family understood.
The operation and the stay
Liver surgery is performed by Dr Gupta with the same team and the same ICU protocol used for liver transplants — meticulous blood-loss control, early walking, early feeding. The family stayed near the hospital with a single point of contact for every question.
Going home
Discharged with a written summary, medicines for the coming weeks and a video follow-up date. 'Life-changing' was the family's word for it — and the photograph shows why.
“For patients from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and the wider region, the first step is simple: send us the reports. We will tell you honestly whether the journey is worth making.”
What this means for you
