The Gambat Liver Transplant Center (also Gambat Organ Transplant Unit) is a Sindh government public hospital, located in Gambat, Khairpur Mirs, Pakistan.

The transplant program provides free liver transplants to individuals who cannot afford the cost of the treatment.[1]

Started in 2016,[2] the 500-bed facility was the first Pakistani hospital to perform both a kidney transplant and a liver transplant in the same surgery.[3][4]

In 2020, the hospital performed 210 living-donor liver transplants, the highest number ever recorded in Pakistan. Until January 2021, Gambat Liver Transplant Unit carried out 330 liver transplants and 102 kidney transplants during the period by a team of nine surgeons. Its out-patient clinic has been catering to as many as 250 patients.[citation needed] It is currently the only public sector transplant unit in Pakistan that performs 6 living donor liver transplantations and 3 kidney transplantations per week.[5]
