Dubai teams save four lives in specialised organ transfer operation

The lives of four patients were saved in a specialised organ transfer mission carried out by teams from the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services, with medical support from the Dubai Health Authority (DHA).

The operation, part of the ‘Hayat’ programme promoting organ donation, involved coordination with several healthcare and government entities across the country.

Organs were transported by helicopter to three hospitals in a safe and timely transfer.

The National Centre for Regulating Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation at the Ministry of Health & Prevention oversaw logistical operations, while the DHA provided the necessary medical support, and the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services ensured rapid transportation using a helicopter.

Meanwhile, Dubai Police played a pivotal role in securing the transfer process to guarantee the timely arrival of the organs in accordance with the highest medical standards.

Mishal Abdul Karim Julfar, Executive Director of the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services, praised the collaboration and stressed the importance of raising awareness about organ donation to save lives.

Dr Younis Kazim, Acting CEO of the Health Regulation Sector at the DHA, highlighted the country’s ongoing efforts to enhance patients’ quality of life through pioneering initiatives that promote organ donation, the adoption of cutting-edge medical technologies and protocols, and the establishment of a comprehensive regulatory framework.
