At Lenmed Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre, Lung Transplant is performed using advanced thoracic transplant techniques and personalized treatment plans based on the patient's condition. Established in 2002, this hospital in Durban, South Africa has 353 beds and provides comprehensive transplant and critical care services.

Lung Transplant may be recommended for patients with severe, progressive lung disease that has significantly affected breathing and quality of life despite appropriate medical treatment. Depending on the underlying disease and transplant assessment, patients may receive one or both lungs. Before surgery, a multidisciplinary transplant team evaluates lung function, cardiovascular health, infection risks, and other factors. Following transplantation, lifelong immunosuppression and regular follow-up are required to reduce the risk of rejection and monitor lung function.
