Liver diseases are prevalent among Children and the ultimate cure for medically refractory  liver diseases is liver transplantation.  The first paediatric liver transplant in the world took place about 60 years ago and, it was only  in 2020, that a successful paediatric liver transplant was completed within the country.  Establishing a children's liver transplant program in a low-income country with free healthcare,  such as in Sri Lanka, has not been without limitations and hurdles.  However, while still in its initial stages, the program has performed successful transplants on  14 children, mostly with living donors, giving them a much-needed second chance at life.  This marks a positive step for Sri Lanka's healthcare system, offering hope for children with  liver failure.
