Organ donation and transplantation in Romania

Overview

Recent reports highlight significant organ donation and transplant activities across Romania.

In Iași, the ‘Dr. C. I. Parhon’ Clinical Hospital successfully performed two kidney transplants using organs from a 51-year-old donor. The recipients, a woman from Botoșani and a man from Vaslui, were both previously dependent on dialysis and are reported to be in stable condition.

In Timișoara, a 17-year-old donor enabled five successful transplants, including two liver transplants, two kidney transplants, and a cornea transplant. The liver procedures involved a split hepatic technique to benefit both an adult and a toddler. While most organs were used by Romanian medical teams, a heart graft was recovered by a medical team from Germany after no compatible recipient was identified within Romania.
