Eleven donors have helped 31 patients including six children
The National Center for Organ Donation has experienced a significant leap recently. From April to mid-August 2026, organs were harvested from 11 brain-dead donors, resulting in 31 successful transplant surgeries, including 6 procedures for children. The achievement included 22 kidney transplants—6 of them for children—3 liver transplants, 6 heart transplants, and 15 corneal transplants, allowing those on waiting lists to regain their sight. Despite an increase in donor families, the waiting list for patients with kidney failure remains around 1,600 people, and a shortage of donations continues to limit many patients' access to life-saving procedures. The center’s official emphasizes that donor families play a crucial role in the success of transplantation operations, even though many cases of brain death are not always utilized to save those in need.
