Over the past five years, the volume of transplant surgeries in the capital has more than doubled. In 2025, 859 such procedures were performed, compared to 428 in 2020. Sergei Sobyanin announced this on his channel in MAX messenger.
"Now Muscovites receive life-saving treatment much faster. For example, the wait for a liver transplant is approximately five months, and for a kidney transplant, no more than a year. In other countries, this process can take three to five years. This breakthrough is the result of a huge, comprehensive effort to develop the city's healthcare system," the Moscow Mayor noted.

Thanks to the digitalization of the capital's healthcare system, data on potential donors is received in a timely manner, and the creation of leading transplant centers allows for the use of the latest development and innovation.
For example, the S.P. Botkin Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific and Clinical Center (MMNCC) was the first in Russia to implement a unique method of normothermic ex vivo machine perfusion of donor kidneys. Organs previously considered unsuitable are now being used for transplantation. They were also the first in the country to begin performing minimally invasive correction of the consequences of severe liver cirrhosis, giving patients additional time to wait for a donor organ.
The N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care has developed a new pancreas transplant technique, allowing for more frequent pancreas and kidney transplants in a single operation.
"At the A.S. Loginov Moscow Clinical Research Center, using minimally invasive X-ray endovascular technologies and complex therapy, doctors stabilize the growth of an inoperable tumor and replace the organ with a donor one," added Sergei Sobyanin.
In addition, the capabilities of Moscow's transplant service are constantly expanding. For example, in June 2025, the Moscow Clinical Research Center (MCRC) Hospital 52 opened new branch organ and tissue transplantation.
Last year, work began in the structure of transplant centers – the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care and the A.S. Loginov Moscow Clinical Research Center outpatient centers for patients after organ transplants. Together with the existing centers at the Moscow Regional Scientific and Research Center "Hospital 52" and the S.P. Botkin Moscow Regional Medical Scientific and Research Center, they form a comprehensive framework for the city's outpatient post-transplant service.
