## Achievements
### 1st Time in the World Across-Blood Group Kidney Transplantation in a recipient with the Bombay O Blood Group

For the 1st Time in the World, MIOT Hospitals Performed an Across-Blood Group Kidney Transplantation in a recipient with the Bombay O Blood Group. Due to his Bombay O blood group, he could receive blood or organs only from someone with the same blood group, which is very rare and prevalent in only 1 in 10,000 people in India. Globally, a kidney transplant has never been reported in a recipient with the Bombay O blood group due to the rarity and higher complications involved. Additionally, the lack of precedents or guidelines for monitoring anti-H antibody levels, which are significant in preventing organ rejection, made the transplantation highly challenging. However, MIOT’s solid organ transplant specialists, with their extensive experience, completed this groundbreaking procedure by performing an across-blood group kidney transplantation in a Bombay O recipient. They brought down the anti-H antibody titers to the optimum level and successfully completed the procedure.

### Bone marrow transplant

The MIOT Institute of Haematology, Haemato-Oncology & BMT performed the first T-replete haplo identical bone marrow transplant in India in 2013.

### Liver transplant

An emergency liver transplant saved a rapidly deteriorating 26-year-old mother with jaundice and a severely damaged liver.

### Biplane CathLab

For the first time in India, MIOT Hospitals brings a Biplane CathLab with Cone Beam CT, 3D Echo and software intelligence – all on a single platform.
