Tripura’s healthcare system has registered a new milestone after doctors at Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) and GBP Hospital successfully performed the state’s fourth consecutive kidney transplant, further strengthening confidence in advanced medical care in the region. The latest surgery involved a 23-year-old patient from Rabindrapalli in West Taranagar, Sidhai Mohanpur, who received a kidney donated by his 45-year-old mother. Health officials confirmed on Monday that both the recipient and the donor are recovering steadily.
The complex procedure was conducted through a joint collaboration between AGMC & GBP Hospital in Tripura and Sija Hospital and Research Institute of Manipur, reflecting a growing culture of medical partnerships in the Northeast. The AGMC medical team included nephrologists Dr Manas Gop, Dr Samaresh Pal, Dr Reshmi Das, and Dr Udayan Saha, along with urologists Dr Mukut Debnath, Dr Bijit Lodh, and Dr Jiban Debnath. From Manipur, transplant surgeon Dr Soumorendra Pounam, surgeon Dr Maharabam Mahili, and anesthesiologists Dr Kajal G. Momin and Dr Gayatri S. Pillai extended crucial expertise. They were supported by AGMC anesthesiologists Dr Bhaskar Majumder, Dr Ranjit Riang, and Dr Tapan Debbarma.
The operation also relied on the dedicated efforts of nursing staff, operating theatre technicians, and transplant coordinator Himadri Kar, under the supervision of Senior Nursing Officer Tapati Chakraborty. Officials said the success of the surgery underlines not only the skill of the medical teams but also the state’s growing capability to handle high-end medical procedures locally.
