In a landmark medical achievement, the first ever liver transplant surgery done in Dubai has saved the life of a 38-year-old woman.
The transplant was done at the King’s College Hospital, Dubai, on November 29 and the patient has been doing well after the surgery, it was announced on Wednesday.
The family of a brain-dead patient donated the latter’s liver which was transplanted into the recipient’s body in a four-hour surgery. A team from the King’s College Hospital, London, flew down to lead the surgery along with experts from the facility’s Dubai branch.
Dr Marwan Al Mulla, CEO of Health Regulation Sector at Dubai Health Authority (DHA), said this marks the next phase of organ transplant in Dubai.
