Medical transplant activities in Sardinia have progressed from clinical operations to specialized educational initiatives. In mid-September, the Arnas Brotzu hospital in Cagliari successfully performed five organ transplants, including three liver and two kidney transplants, within a three-day period. Hospital leadership attributed the success to the professionalism of multidisciplinary medical teams and the generosity of donors.

By late September, the focus shifted toward medical training with the University of Sassari launching ‘Project 4x4’. This clinical training program, organized by the School of Specialization in Anesthesia, Resuscitation, Intensive Care and Pain in collaboration with the Sassari University Hospital, uses high-fidelity simulations to train specialists and medical students. The initiative is promoted by the National Transplant Center to standardize training in areas such as donor identification, neurological death diagnosis, and anesthetic management.
