It’s World Organ Donation Day on the 13th August and just last month, the UAE passed a very significant milestone – 1,000 organs donated and transplanted to save lives since the start of the Hayat program in 2017. We speak with Dr Maria Paula Gomez, Director and Organ Transplant Expert at The National Centre for Regulating Donation and Transplantation of Humans Organs and Tissues at the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) and Nathalie Grall-Sorensen, mum of Viggo who died suddenly and his organs saved five lives.
