Date : 24 February 2025
Venue : Baku, Azerbaijan
The Organ Donation and Transplantation Coordination Center under the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan received information about the diagnosis of brain death in a patient undergoing treatment at the Clinical Medical Center. The center’s specialists promptly organized and coordinated the organ donation and transplantation process.
The patient’s family consented to the transplantation of his organs, marking a significant milestone in the history of Azerbaijani healthcare in the field of transplantation.
A liver transplant was successfully performed at the Central Customs Hospital on patient Menzer Yashar qizi Sharifova (born on October 12, 2002), who suffers from liver cirrhosis caused by viral hepatitis B and D. She had no opportunity to receive an organ from a living donor. The surgery was conducted by a professional medical team led by Doctor of Medical Sciences Mirjalal Kazimi.
