The Royal Melbourne Hospital is a major renal transplant centre.
Kidney transplantation in Australia was pioneered by RMH in the 1960s, and the hospital continues its groundbreaking work - in 2006, the hospital successfully performed Australia's first kidney transplant across incompatible blood groups.
