The leading hospital for organ transplantation in Thailand.

King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital is the leading hospital for organ transplantation in Thailand. Our achievement includes:

• The first kidney transplantation in Thailand in 1972.
  
  
• The first liver transplantation in Thailand in 1987.
  
  
• The first cardiac transplantation in Thailand and South East Asia in 1987.
  
  
• The major leader in defining diagnostic criteria of brain death in 1989, which was the beginning of organ donations from the patients with brain death, leading to the advanced development of organ transplantation in Thailand where the organ recipients have more chance to survive with a better quality of life.
  
  
• The Donor Remembrance Day, which was initiated and held every year since 1992 so that the organ donors’ relatives, the organ recipients and the medical personnel can jointly make merits to the organ donors.
  
  
• The first incompatible blood group kidney transplantation in Thailand in 2008.

Later, due to increasing numbers of patients, the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital’s board of directors decidedto establish the Excellence Center for Organ Transplantation (ECOT), King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, the Thai Red Cross society, in 2013, which is responsible for organ transplantation in particular. The continuous achievements are as follows:

• 100 cases of successful cardiac transplantation in 2015.
  
  
• The first successful liver and kidney transplantation in a patient with liver cancer and chronic renal failure in 2016.
  
  
• The first successful incompatible blood group – living donor related liver transplantation in a child over one year old in Thailand in 2017.
  
  
• The first successful living donor related liver transplant in a child with the lowest weight (5.8 kilograms) of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in 2018.

The academic conferences were initiated and are held annually such as the “lecture & hands-on workshop on organ retrieval” in 2018, with the objective to improve knowledge and skills of organ transplantation to be more effective, faster and for better survival outcome. The conference draws attention from a lot of medical personnel across Thailand.
