The Kidney Transplant Support Group brings together kidney transplant recipients, donors, patients with end-stage kidney disease, as well as nephrologists, doctors, and transplant coordinators.

By facilitating open dialogue and mutual support, the group aims to provide valuable emotional and moral support to those navigating the complexities of kidney disease and transplantation.
Moreover, the support group will play a crucial role in raising awareness about kidney disease and the transplant services available at M.P Shah Hospital. Through educational sessions, outreach initiatives, and community engagement efforts, the group seeks to empower individuals with knowledge about their condition and available treatment options.
