Lebanon resumes organ transplant surgeries
The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced the resumption of organ transplant operations in Lebanon after years of suspension, funded by the ministry. Additionally, a national authority has been established to regulate the sector of organ donation and transplantation. This announcement was made during a site visit by Minister of Health Rakan Nasseruddin to Al-Rasul Al-Azam Hospital and Saint George University Hospital, where heart and kidney transplant surgeries were performed on three patients. The minister emphasized the importance of organ donation and the roles of hospitals and doctors in revitalizing the transplant sector, which had seen a decline in operations over the past years. He clarified that these procedures will be covered by the Ministry of Health, and that the new authority will include doctors and representatives from academic hospitals. The first meeting of this body is expected soon, with the aim of saving patients’ lives and improving the healthcare sector.
