It is difficult to give the cost of liver transplantation surgery as it varies from centre to centre. In Delhi it can be done at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Department of Pediatric Surgery: Prof. V Bhatnagar) or at Apollo Hospital (Medical Director and Pediatric Hepatologist: Dr Anupam Sibal) or at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital (Contact Gastrointestinal Surgery and Pediatric Surgery: Dr S Nundy/Dr Anurag Krishna).
