An 11-month-old baby has undergone a liver transplant at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj. Doctors at the teaching hospital performed a liver transplant on Saturday night at 8 p.m. The boy was donated a liver by his 35-year-old father for the transplant.

The child, who hails from Kavre, has been preparing for a transplant for a month and a half. Dr. Ramesh Singh Bhandari informed. Under his leadership, liver transplantation was started in the teaching hospital. According to Dr. Bhandari, this is the fifth liver transplant at TRI Teaching Hospital.
