Update news organ donation
Within 24 hours, the process of receiving the donated liver, two kidneys, two corneas, and skin to conducte transplantation for six patients was completed. The last surgery ended at 8:00 pm on May 3.
Nguyen Tuan Dung, who once donated a kidney to save a life, was sentenced to eight years in prison for defrauding a car rental owner - but received leniency due to his past act of altruism.
In the past three years, Vietnam has consistently recorded over 1,000 successful transplants annually – the highest in the region.
The organs of T.H.N. (44 years old, from Dak Lak Province) have given a new lease on life to seven patients in Ho Chi Minh City and Hue.
Despite the heartbreaking loss of their son, a family in Ho Chi Minh City chose to donate his organs, allowing another young man to live. This is a story of loss, hope, and second chances.
