KFSHRC sets record with 152 kidney transplants
RIYADH, February 24, SPA -- The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and
Research Center (KFSHRC) in Riyadh registered a record 152 kidney
transplants last year, said Dr. Qasim Al-Qasabi, its Chief Executive
Officer (CEO).
“A total of 96 kidneys were harvested from living relative donors,
while 56 kidneys were from dead donors from transplantation centers
all over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” he said.
Al-Qasabi said the Saudi Kidney and Pancreatic Transplantations
Program is the only program recognized by the American Organs
Transplantation Society outside North America for the fellowship
training of physicians and the granting of certificates, according to
a report published today by the Jeddah-based Arab News.
He said this distinction was due to the availability of highly
qualified skilled medical, nursing and technical teams in addition to
excellent hospital infrastructure.
