Asiri Central Hospital’s Kidney Transplant Centre Records 200 successful transplants as Sri Lanka’s Leading Renal Care Programme

Kidney transplantation at Asiri Health’s Asiri Central Hospital is setting a strong benchmark in advanced renal care in Sri Lanka, offering patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure access to highly specialised, safe and comprehensive transplant treatment locally. With more than 200 successful kidney transplant surgeries completed and a success rate exceeding 98%, the hospital’s Kidney Transplant Centre has earned the confidence of both patients and the fraternity through consistently strong clinical outcomes, experienced specialist care and advanced transplant infrastructure.

A key strength of the programme lies in its dedicated transplant unit, developed specifically to support complex renal transplant procedures within a highly controlled environment aligned with international standards of safety, infection prevention and post-operative care. Supported by modern technology and advanced clinical protocols, the centre has become a trusted referral destination for patients requiring specialised kidney transplant treatment. Medical experts at the hospital also stress the importance of early intervention and specialist consultation, particularly for patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension and other conditions that may lead to kidney failure.

Recognised for its multidisciplinary approach and carefully coordinated treatment pathways, the programme brings together consultant nephrologists, transplant surgeons, vascular surgeons, specialised nursing teams and clinical support staff who work collaboratively throughout every stage of the patient journey. From pre-transplant evaluations and donor matching to surgery, recovery and long-term follow-up care, the focus remains on delivering personalised treatment with the highest standards of patient safety and clinical oversight.

Commenting further, Dr. Manjula Karunaratne, Advisor to Chairman & Medical Consultant, Asiri Health, stated: “Our Kidney Transplant Centre has been built on a foundation of clinical expertise and patient-centred care. The outcomes achieved over the years reflect the dedication of our multidisciplinary teams and the trust placed in us by patients and referring doctors across the country. Timely referral and evaluation can significantly improve treatment options and long-term quality of life. We remain committed to continuously strengthening transplant care standards and improving long-term outcomes for patients living with kidney disease.”

For patients and families navigating the challenges of chronic kidney disease, receiving advanced transplant care within Sri Lanka offers both convenience and reassurance. Asiri Central Hospital continues to play an important role in demonstrating that world-class kidney transplant care is accessible locally, reducing the need for patients to seek costly and disruptive treatment overseas.

Asiri Central Hospital’s Kidney Transplant Centre enables access to advanced treatment, experienced clinical expertise and carefully coordinated follow-up care, helping many return to healthier, more independent lives with renewed confidence.
