Health Minister Unveils National Organ Donation Protocol
Minister of Health Dr. Ibrahim Al-Badour confirmed that including the service of registering the desire to donate organs via the "Sanad" application aims to organize the process of organ donation and transplantation through a comprehensive national protocol involving multiple sectors, not just the healthcare sector. The service allows citizens to digitally declare their willingness to donate, with their information displayed within the family register, facilitating the follow-up of requests and identifying cases in need. The protocol covers medical, legal, and religious aspects, with precise criteria for brain death, determined by specialized committees. The system's goal is to increase the number of donors to improve the lives of patients with organ failure, without the need to build new centers—by organizing operations and enhancing the efficiency of staff—and by strengthening community culture of altruism and awareness of the importance of donation. This initiative follows the Council of Ministers' approval to add the organ donation service to the application, aiming to broaden the scope of humanitarian efforts, maximize the benefits of the donation system, and increase opportunities to save lives.
