Heart transplant program

A heart transplant program is a medical initiative that offers heart transplants to patients with severe heart disease or dysfunction when other treatments have failed. It involves evaluating patients to determine their eligibility, matching them with suitable donor hearts, and performing the surgical procedure to replace the damaged heart with a healthy one from a deceased donor. The program includes post-operative care, monitoring for rejection of the new heart, and ongoing support to help patients recover and maintain their health. This life-saving procedure requires coordination among healthcare providers, transplant centers, and organ donor agencies.
