There are only two adult liver transplant programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, and both are in South Africa (SA). The absence of these services for a billion people in this region contrasts starkly with widespread access in high-income countries. In SA, the first programme was established in 1988 at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town and the second programme in 2004 at Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre (WDGMC) in Johannesburg. [1] WDGMC is uniquely situated as a private academic teaching hospital in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand. The hospital focuses on teaching and training of specialists and sub-specialists and the provision of specialist care, including liver transplantation. Access to the liver transplant programme is based on need and all adults are prioritised for transplantation based on the severity of their illness. Referrals are widely received from state and private facilities. Survival data on adult orthotopic liver transplants (OLTs) from international programmes have been published. Survival rates differ between middle-income and high-income countries because the volume of transplant procedures is usually much larger in This open-access article is distributed under Creative Commons licence CC-BY-NC 4.0.
