The Health department is in the process of developing a time-bound action plan for initiating liver transplants at Thiruvananthapuram Government Medical College Hospital.
A high-level meeting chaired by Health Minister Veena George here on Thursday suggested that preparations be made in a time-bound manner so that the transplant programme could get off the feet at the MCH. A liver transplant unit should be developed as a special division at the MCH, it was pointed out at the meeting.
