Hamal News Agency 06.10.2021
For the first time yesterday, Tuesday, October 5, two kidneys were transferred from Israel to the Czech Republic and two kidneys arrived in Israel from the Czech Republic.
Thanks to the crossover program, six people, four Israelis, and two Czechs will receive transplants!
A kidney from a Maimonides donor and a donor from Sheba left Israel and the two kidneys brought from the Czech Republic were transplanted at Maimonides.
Out of the six transplants, a chain of 4 transplants was created thanks to an altruistic donor from the national list of the National Transplant Center.
Donors who come directly to the transplant center are enrolled in the crossover program.
