The surgery that brought hope: India's first heart transplant
On August 3, 1994, the first successful heart transplant in India was conducted at AIIMS New Delhi, led by Dr. P. Venugopal. This milestone offered a fresh sense of optimism for cardiac patients across the country. The historic operation helped establish a legal framework for organ transplants, encouraged public awareness regarding organ donation, and is commemorated annually as National Heart Transplant Day.
