Kidney Transplant Kullu

Introduction

Patients from Kullu and the surrounding valley travel a longer hill-road distance — around 210 km — to reach
Chandigarh/Mohali for advanced kidney and urology care not available locally or in nearby hill towns.

Kidney Transplant Chandigarh at IVY Hospital, Mohali, works closely with Kullu patients on advance planning,
given the significant travel time involved from this part of Himachal Pradesh.
