DONOR SITUATION AT UNI HOSPITAL – A 76-YEAR-OLD BULGARIAN MAN GAVE A CHANCE FOR LIFE TO A ROMANIAN CITIZEN

A donor situation implemented by a medical team at „MBAL Uni Hospital“, with coordinator Dr. Doncho Tashkov, gave a chance for life to a Romanian patient in need of a transplant. This becomes possible after, on November 16, the relatives of a brain-dead 76-year-old man made the noble decision to donate his organs and give life to other complete strangers. Due to the donor’s medical indications, it was not possible to perform an organ transplant in Bulgaria.

Under a cooperation agreement between the Executive Agency „Medical Supervision“ and the National Agency for Transplantation of Romania, the liver was provided to the Romanian side. The transport of the Romanian explantation team was carried out by helicopter to the hospital heliport for the implementation of emergency medical assistance flights by air of „MBAL Uni Hospital“, officially opened on November 15.

The Ministry of Health, „Medical Supervision“ and MBAL „Uni Hospital“ offer their sincere condolences to the man’s relatives and express their gratitude and respect for the noble decision taken at a difficult time for them to save human lives.
