Cairo: Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman have registered in a major organ donation programme in a gesture aimed to motivate people to follow their example.
The humanitarian step shows care for patients with end-stage organ failure and seeks to encourage Saudi citizens and foreign residents to sign up for the organ donation of the Saudi Centre for Organ Transplantation in view of its extreme importance in giving hope to patients whose lives depend on organ transplants, the Saudi news agency SPA reported.
The gesture also comes to boost standards of public health and medical sector efficiency in conducting such sophisticated operations and contributing to their success rates, it added.
Abu Dhabi: The organs of a 50-year-old brain dead donor in an Al Ain public hospital have helped save four lives.
The donor, who had been admitted at Al Ain’s Tawam Hospital, had suffered an acute stroke that resulted in trauma to the brain and subsequent brain death, the hospital announced in a statement on Wednesday (February 3).
The transplant procedures took four hours, and the donor’s heart was transported to Saudi Arabia. Three other organs – a liver and both kidneys – were donated to eligible patients in the UAE, including two people in Abu Dhabi and a third in Dubai. The transplant is Al Ain’s second till date.
