Recently, the National Children's Hospital has successfully performed the 74th pediatric liver transplant, opening up a chance of life for a 30-month-old patient with end-stage liver disease due to congenital biliary atresia. The liver donor is the patient's grandmother. In the coming time, the hospital will continue to develop advanced and specialized techniques to strive to bring life to children with serious liver and biliary diseases in particular and the best health care solutions for Vietnamese children in general.

The liver is taken from a donor who is preparing to donate it to a sick child.

The doctor performed liver washing immediately after removing it from the donor.
