Lenmed Group’s transplant and LVAD (left ventricular assist device) programme at Lenmed Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre represents a significant milestone in advancing healthcare services for the region.
This is all in line with Lenmed Group’s ambition to create world class centres of excellence and has embarked upon numerous other accreditation exercises in the fields of stroke, trauma and bariatric surgery – in this regard, Lenmed Group has to date received Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA), Trauma Society of South Africa (TSSA) and Bariatric Surgery accreditations at various of its hospital facilities.
We are committed to expanding access to life-saving organ transplant and device implant procedures, including kidney and future planned liver transplants. Our programmes adhere to stringent protocols and ethical standards, ensuring patient safety and long-term success post-transplant and implant.
