Choosing Lenmed Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital for Lung Transplant gives patients access to experienced transplant specialists, advanced thoracic surgery facilities, and comprehensive postoperative care. Established in 1984, the COHSASA, ISQua hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 254 beds and provides specialized transplant services.

Lung Transplant may be considered when advanced lung disease causes severe respiratory impairment and available medical or surgical treatments are no longer sufficient. The transplant may involve a single lung or both lungs, depending on the underlying disease, the patient's health, and transplant assessment. Before surgery, doctors conduct extensive testing to evaluate lung and heart function, nutritional status, infection risks, and overall suitability. After transplantation, immunosuppressive treatment and pulmonary rehabilitation help support recovery and reduce complications.
