The number of patients in Indonesia who require liver transplants is quite high. Unfortunately, only a few hospitals are currently capable of performing this procedure. The good news is that Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital now provides liver transplant services.
Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital has fulfilled the requirements for facilities, infrastructure, medical equipment, and human resources in accordance with regulations to carry out liver transplant procedures.
The verification team for organ transplant licensing and implementation from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia also visited the hospital on Thursday (April 24) to assess the feasibility of performing liver transplants at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital.
As a result, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has issued a Business Licensing to Support Business Activities (PB-UMKU) with the number 912010714004600010016, granting Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital official permission to conduct organ transplants.
This licensing marks great news for patients in need of a liver transplant. It also increases the number of hospitals in the country capable of performing this complex procedure.
The liver transplant team at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital includes experienced doctors such as Prof. Dr. Toar Jean Maurice Lalisang, Sp.B. Subsp.BD (K) for adult liver transplants, and Dr. Sastiono, Sp.B Subsp.Ped(K) for pediatric liver transplants.
Mandaya will also be supported by specialists from Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital (RSCM) Jakarta for adult transplants, and Renji Hospital in Shanghai, China for pediatric liver transplants.
