Very few centres in the world have done as many liver transplants in one Year.

After a slow start, the liver transplantation program took off with 66 transplants in 2006.^[2] He has pioneered the development of living donor liver transplantations in India. Previously, patients had to travel abroad to get this treatment, at a very high cost. His surgical techniques have brought down the cost to a fraction of what it costs elsewhere and made liver transplant available to patients from the India, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East.
