HO CHI MINH CITY: In a significant feat of medical coordination, seven patients across Vietnam have received life-saving organ transplants from a single brain-dead donor following a complex, multi-hospital operation spanning the country.
Late Monday (June 16), Thong Nhat Hospital in HCM City announced the successful completion of a cross-regional organ donation and transplant campaign. The hospital collaborated closely with Cho Ray Hospital, 108 Military Central Hospital, Hue Central Hospital, Children's Hospital 2 and supporting units including traffic police, Tan Sn Nhat Airport and national carrier Vietnam Airlines to retrieve and transport seven organs from one donor for transplantation into seven critically ill patients.
