Premier Heart Transplant in India 

Heart diseases are emerging as a major challenge today, affecting even individuals as young as 40 years old, and sometimes even younger. Unfortunately, heart failures in most of these patients occur when patients are already beyond the condition that is capable of being cured by drugs, and a heart transplant provides the only way out to save the life. At Gleneagles Hospitals, our top heart surgeons and other board-certified medical professionals offer Heart Transplant in India following all the safety and medical standards. We have world-class heart transplant services and deliver exceptional outcomes through advanced technologies and expertise in cardiology.
