Transplant

A transplant is a medical procedure in which a healthy organ or tissue is transferred to replace one that is damaged or no longer functions properly. People who have undergone or are preparing for a transplant require specialised medical care to help protect the transplanted organ and reduce the risk of rejection. Treatment plans vary depending on the type of transplant and the individual's health needs. With appropriate medicines, regular monitoring, and ongoing medical supervision, many transplant recipients can maintain the function of their transplanted organ and improve their quality of life.
