Algeria’s first multi-organ transplant operation leaves a skeptical society

Saturday, 13 July 2019 by Support Wavai

The debate surrounding organ transplants resumed in Algeria after local surgeons successfully completed the first organ transplant surgery at the Ibn Badis hospital in Constantine, east of Algiers, from a deceased donor in his fifties.

Algerian Health Minister Mohamed Merawi considered this a “great achievement” in record time through three successful transplants to three patients who were on the organ waiting list. The 18-hour organ removal was conducted by a multidisciplinary Algerian medical team comprising specialists in surgery, neurology, forensic medicine and medical imaging.

The multi-organ (kidney and liver) procedure follows four years of perseverance and comes after 28 attempts at this breakthrough.

The Kuwait Transplant Society honors donors & their families

Sunday, 07 July 2019 by إدارة الموقع

The Kuwait Transplant Society held a ceremony honoring organ transplant donors, under the patronage of H.E. the Minister of Health of the State of Kuwait, in the presence of Kuwait MP/ Ahmad Nabil Al-Fadl, members of the Association, donors and families of deceased donors and a large number of doctors, nurses and those with a vested interest in the activities of the society.
Dr. Mustafa Al Moussawi – Chairman of the Society and Director of Organ Transplant Program at the Kuwait Ministry of Health said during his address at the event “Honoring donors is important because it is known that if there are no donors, there will be no organ transplants – which are usually based on donors who are either relatives or face their demise. Living donors provide kidneys and portions of the liver in low risk medical
operations. However, donors who pass away can provide organs for up to eight other patients where two kidneys, a liver, a heart and a pancreas can be donated.
He pointed out that the number of holders of donation cards has reached more than 13 thousand, which he considered still a few, expressing hope that the society could multiply this number to reach hundreds of thousands.
Dr. Rana Al Abdelrazzaq- Vice Chairman of the Kuwait Organ Transplant Society explained “the problem we have here in Kuwait is that although we have skilled doctors and the latest technology to perform operations, we lack donors; thus long queues for kidney, liver, heart and other vital organ transplants are the only hope for desperate patients.”
Many donors gave speeches about how their lives changed for the better after the donation, as well as the parents of the donors who faced their demise, expressing how grateful and tender they have become, and one of the donors said that his life changed completely to the best in all directions after his donation.
