Medical transplant advancements in Vietnam
Overview
Can Tho General Hospital has achieved a significant milestone in the Mekong Delta region by successfully performing two kidney transplants from living donors in a single day. These procedures involved family members: a husband donating a kidney to his wife, who had endured end-stage renal disease for eight years, and a father donating a kidney to his son, who had undergone peritoneal dialysis for four years. Both donors and recipients are reported to be in stable condition.
This success follows an initial successful transplant at the hospital in April 2026. The operations were facilitated by a technical transfer and professional support program from Hue Central Hospital, directed by Professor Pham Nhu Hiep. This ongoing collaboration aims to master complex transplant techniques and expand access to specialized kidney treatments for patients in southern Vietnam.
