1500 Patients Access Hayat Program
The United Arab Emirates launched the national "Hayat" program for organ donation and transplantation, which has achieved significant milestones since its launch in 2017 up to June 2026. The program has contributed to saving 1,500 patients through the transplantation of organs from deceased donors. A total of 549 official donors have been registered, and more than 1,780 transplant procedures have been performed, including kidneys, livers, lungs, hearts, and pancreases, across various hospitals in accredited centers. The program aims to expand donation opportunities and reduce waiting times by enhancing community awareness, updating legislation, and employing modern technologies such as artificial intelligence. It also pioneers innovations like robotic lung transplantation. The UAE is a regional leader with a rate of 13.95 deceased donors per million people, with activity increasing by 31% in 2025 compared to the previous year, reaffirming its regional and global standing in this field.
