200 doctors participated in organ transplants from brain-dead people.

Accordingly, Nghe An General Friendship Hospital successfully performed the first organ retrieval and transplant from a brain-dead donor in Nghe An.

Specifically, on the afternoon of September 7, Nghe An General Friendship Hospital coordinated with Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, Hue Central Hospital and the National Organ Coordination Center to perform the first kidney transplant from a brain-dead donor.

Organ transplantation has become the pride of Vietnamese medicine (illustrative photo).

After the patient's family agreed to donate and their professional indicators were carefully evaluated, the patient's two kidneys were taken for transplant to two patients, one from Binh Dinh province, 27 years old, and one from Thua Thien Hue, 37 years old, both with end-stage renal failure.

The entire team of 200 doctors participating in the kidney transplant were doctors from Nghe An General Friendship Hospital and the coordinating units were experts from Viet Duc Hospital, Hue Central Hospital and the National Organ Coordination Center.

On the evening of September 7, the donor's liver was transported from Vinh to Hanoi on flight VN1718. A team of 5 doctors from Nghe An General Hospital and the donor's liver were coordinated to transplant to a patient at Viet Duc Hospital (Hanoi).

Due to strict requirements regarding liver preservation time, from the time it is removed from the donor until it is transplanted into the recipient's body, which is a maximum of 6 hours, the flight was prepared and carried out extremely urgently.

As soon as the request was received from the National Organ Transplant Coordination Center, the team of doctors and their carry-on luggage, the medical box containing the organs, were quickly put on the plane and flown back to Hanoi.
