First kidney transplant in Afghanistan performed at Loqman Hakim
Loqman Hakim Complex Hospital records a kidney transplant carried out on 3 Saur 1395 (April 2016), which the hospital describes as the first such operation performed in Afghanistan. The hospital published a documentary about the operation on its Facebook page.
Kidney care remains part of the hospital’s regular work: a dedicated haemodialysis department operates alongside the urology and internal medicine services.
