The second organ collection this year took place at the Arad District Hospital, and the donor was a 52-year-old brain-dead man. Since there is no compatible patient, the removed heart will save lives in Croatia, News.ro reports.

They took the cornea, kidneys and heart.

“The gesture of the family of a 52-year-old resident of Arada, whose brain died, will give a chance for life to unknown people who are currently fighting in a hospital bed, waiting for a life-saving transplant! Two more people will see again thanks to the same family, which had the strength to make one of the most difficult and at the same time noble decisions – to save other lives, when the life of a loved one can no longer be saved! A few minutes ago, teams of doctors from Switzerland, Croatia, Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca, together with doctors from Arad, took the patient’s heart, kidneys and cornea, which will urgently go to patients in critical condition whose lives depend on transplantation.” , say representatives of the Arad District Hospital.
