The highest number of kidney donors in Nepal is women. It has been found that 80 percent of the people who donate kidneys are women. Although 72 percent of the victims are men, more women donate to them for kidney transplants. According to experts, the number of kidney donors has increased among married women, and mothers who have given birth.

At a media workshop organized by Nepal Press Institute and Sahid Dharma Bhakta National Human Organ Transplant Center, the Executive Director of the Center, Dr. Pukar Chandra Shrestha said that the center has so far performed kidney transplants for 900 people in one year. Only yesterday, for the first time, four kidney transplants were performed at the center on the same day. He claimed that the success rates of kidney transplantation in Nepal are 99.9 percent.
