The National Organ Transplant Program in India is crucial for patients with end-stage organ failure. The program's budget has seen steady increase over recent years. In the fiscal year 2022-2023, the allocated budget of the program's financial journey was 9.11 crores. Moving into 2023-2024, the revised budget saw a notable increase to 11.00 crores. The most striking testament to the program's trajectory came in 2024-2025, when the allocated budget soared to 15.00 crores.

- to all socioeconomic groups
To address the issue of equitable access, it is crucial for the government to enhance organ transplant services in public sector hospitals, particularly in government-run medical colleges. These institutions have the potential to conduct kidney transplants but often lack the necessary expertise and manpower. To address these gaps, a robust public-private partnership should be developed. This approach will help provide transplant services to marginalized and disenfranchised populations, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their economic status, can benefit from these life-saving procedures.
