Liver Transplant in Tajikistan – Top Cities Providing Treatment

Due to the country’s population size and healthcare infrastructure, Tajikistan’s transplant capacity remains concentrated in key urban centers:

1. Dushanbe

• The capital city and medical hub of Tajikistan.

• National Scientific Center for Human Organs and Tissue Transplantation: The main (and virtually only) center conducting both adult and pediatric liver transplants. The center offers a multidisciplinary team and handles hundreds of kidney and dozens of liver transplants annually.

• Pre- and post-care as well as all surgical activity for transplantation is centralized here.

2. Danghara (Danghara District)

• A secondary site: Recently equipped to conduct some transplant procedures, including several liver transplants in 2024.

• Facilities and expertise are still developing; the majority of complex surgeries remain centralized in Dushanbe.

3. Buston (Sughd Province)

• Satellite liver care: There are occasional reports of living-donor liver transplants performed in Buston, typically with coordination or referral to Dushanbe for complicated cases.

The overwhelming majority of liver and kidney transplants in Tajikistan are performed in Dushanbe. While there is expansion to Danghara and occasional cases in other cities, definitive surgery is almost always in the capital, making it the city of choice for such operations.
