Organ transplantation developments in Acre

Overview

The Fundação Hospitalar do Acre (Fundhacre) has reached significant milestones in organ transplantation services in Brazil’s North region.

In late June 2024, the facility completed its 120th and 121st liver transplants. These procedures involved donor organs used to treat patients with conditions such as hepatocarcinoma and cirrhosis. State officials highlighted these successes as evidence of the expansion of SUS-supported advanced medical services in Acre.

Following these liver transplant milestones, the state resumed living donor kidney transplants. A successful procedure was performed at Fundhacre involving a kidney donation from a 41-year-old uncle to his 14-year-old nephew. Health authorities have utilized these medical achievements to advocate for increased organ donation awareness in the North Region.
