Liver Transplant in Uzbekistan - Top Cities Providing Treatment

Due to the developing nature of this treatment, the country is only beginning to position itself as an accessible option. The following section provides the major cities that offers this treatment to Uzbek patients:

  1. Tashkent

The primary city where liver transplant treatments are actively performed. Key institutions involved in living donor liver transplantation in Uzbekistan is situated here - Tashkent Medical Academy and the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Surgery.

Tashkent International Clinic provides comprehensive services with fairly well-experienced staff. Tashkent is one of the first sites of successful operation in the country.

  1. Samarkand

Samarkand is another one of the cities that is well-known for access to transplant evaluations and potential pre-/post-care. The actual liver transplant surgery may happen in established centers nearby or abroad.

Marokand Hospital here, has medical connections to Indian specialists who help improve the basic liver transplant care such as those mentioned above.

  1. Andijan

An emerging regional medical hub, it has facilities such as Andijan State Medical Institute and ADN hospital that support preliminary liver transplant care.

Despite modern infrastructure and practical training of the doctors the actual surgery is at the nascent stage. This leaves patients with international treatment options.

All of these cities and their respective top hospitals are suitable for pre- and post-surgery evaluations, and do not have active transplant programs.

Cost of Liver Transplant in Uzbekistan & Country-wise Cost Comparison

The fairly-new stage of the program in most cities listed leaves only cities like Tashkent to provide liver transplant surgery. The average cost of liver transplant in Uzbekistan comes to around $20,000-$25,000 or more depending on individual conditions.

The surrounding countries such as India, Turkey, Dubai and China provide end-to-end liver transplant services within different packages. Here’s a look at the liver transplant cost in Uzbekistan vs other countries:

Considerations for Liver Transplant Abroad

  • Multiple options available due to the prevalence of liver transplant-providing hospitals and facilities. Uzbekistan has only one city that provides actual surgery, while other such as Andijan and Samarkand provide liver-related care.

  • Donor availability is better in India and Turkey with lowest living donor transplant wait times. Deceased donor programs vary by country due to regulations and cultures.

  • Post-operative care costs can be significant but reduces when the surgery is done in India - this is because of the partnership with Uzbek facilities in Tashkent and Samarkand.

  • Travel and accommodation costs can add to the final costs. Unless you choose a medical tourism company that offers an all-inclusive liver transplant package.

  • Medical tourism facilitators such as Yapita Health can help help get the best package for liver transplant. Their add-on services makes it an even better choice for Uzbek patients due to end-to-end support right from getting a visa to post-surgery support.

Among all the cities actively developing the transplant services in Uzbekistan, Tashkent and Andijan stand out. Patients still travel out of the country for complex cases but those requiring “normal” liver transplant care travel to Tashkent.

The affordability in Uzbekistan is mainly due to low operational and living costs in cities such as Andijan. Tashkent can still be pricier in comparison due to the established programs.
