Lung transplants are done almost daily in the US and Canada, but I do not know about in India. I would suggest he come over here and maybe look into the appropriate treatment. A GREAT hospital which does them is the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
All the best of luck!

I watched a game show the other day , deal or no deal, one of the contestants had just had a lung transplant , so I would say yes it is possible , she seemed very happy and energetic..

Lung transplants are not done anywhere in India.Even where it is done it is of limited use for a short time.
