You should never face this alone.
Facing end-stage heart failure is one of the most challenging medical conditions a person can experience. When other treatments and surgical options are no longer enough, a heart transplant may be considered as a treatment option. Shifara Health exists so that this complex decision—and every legal, logistical, and medical detail involved in seeking care in India—is never a burden you have to carry alone.
What is a Heart Transplant?
A Heart Transplant is a critical surgical procedure in which a diseased, failing heart is removed and replaced with a healthy donor heart from a deceased donor. Reserved for patients facing advanced end-stage heart failure, this procedure aims to restore normal blood circulation and oxygenation.
The entire process in India is strictly governed by the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA) and overseen by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) to ensure ethical allocation, complete legal compliance, and total transparency. Transplant centers in India have experienced cardiothoracic transplant surgeons, organ retrieval systems, and specialized transplant ICUs.
Why opt for a Heart Transplant in India?
India has advanced heart failure programs and experienced transplant units. For international patients from the Gulf, Africa, and neighboring regions, India offers medical infrastructure, strict regulatory oversight, and comprehensive post-transplant care at a fraction of Western costs. Indian medical institutions also provide the dedicated, long-term monitoring vital for multi-stage transplant recovery.
