A Kuwaiti woman who was diagnosed with advanced liver and kidney disease was given a new lease of life with a double organ transplant in Abu Dhabi.
Nashami, a mother of three, was referred to Abu Dhabi's Cleveland Clinic by doctors in Kuwait and the UK for its multi-organ transplant centre.
She was placed on a shared UAE-Kuwait waiting list under a 2021 organ sharing agreement between the countries that has saved over 180 lives so far.
A multidisciplinary team from Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi carried out the double transplant with precision and minimum complications, the report on national news agency Wam reported, without disclosing when the surgery was done.
Dr. Baraa Abduljawad, staff physician at the hospital's critical care noted that optimising the timing of transplantation significantly improved the outcome.
