About this Divi

A lung transplant is a combination of major surgery and then a lifelong process with intensive follow-up care. During surgery, one or two lungs are replaced with a donor's lungs. After surgery, the patient must take heavy medication against rejection and infection. Therefore, the patient's eligibility for this treatment is carefully examined before surgery.

In this Divi, the patient is given information about the preliminary process of a lung transplant. The patient is explained about the referral, the introduction, the screening, the green light interview, the waiting period and all the tests.
