Is Liver Transplant in India Proceeding with Reckless Abandon?
Christopher Taylor Barry

The answer to the question "is liver transplant in India proceeding with reckless abandon?" is, as with almost anything in this wonderfully complicated country, yes and no. I have had the pleasure to meet several talented transplant surgeons who are leaders or team members of excellent programs (predominately performing living donor liver transplants but with increasing interest in deceased donor transplants). I have also met a few surgeons interested in establishing liver transplant centres who truly understand the magnitude of complexities involved. Unfortunately, many doctors and hospital administrators here have simply been bitten by the liver transplant bug and want to start performing liver transplants yesterday.
