In a nation-first, Narayana Health successfully performed three heart transplants in one hospital within just 12 hours at its flagship Narayana Health City, Bengaluru.

This also showcases the advanced capabilities of Narayana Health's heart failure and transplant program, which is one of the largest in the country, offering comprehensive care for patients.

The recipients, all men in their mid-30s, had been waiting for over a year for suitable donors. They had reached a critical stage where rising lung pressure could soon make them ineligible for transplantation.

"This milestone underscores not only the medical excellence of our transplant team but also the critical role of public support, timely coordination, and the noble decision of donor families," said Dr Varun Shetty, Senior Consultant Cardiac Surgeon.
