A 68-year-old woman has made a significant contribution to hospital and patient care through her organ donation at the 'Georgios Papanikolaou' General Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece. This act, completed early on February 10, involved the successful extraction of kidneys, a liver, and corneas, which were promptly transported to transplantation centers in Thessaloniki and Rome as part of a coordinated effort by the Greek Organ Donation Organization.

The surgical team worked meticulously to ensure the donor's organs were preserved and delivered quickly. The kidneys and liver were on their way to the specialized transplantation unit at the 'Hippocrates' General Hospital in Thessaloniki and the transplantation clinic in Rome, while the corneal tissues were sent to the Ophthalmology Clinic at the 'Papageorgiou' General Hospital. This organized operation underscores the importance of timely organ transplants for critical patients awaiting such vital procedures.

The healthcare administration has expressed great gratitude towards the donors and their families, emphasizing the profound impact such life-saving gifts have on the lives of recipients and the importance of organ donation awareness in society. This event not only highlights the clinical successes of the hospital but aims to inspire others to consider organ donation as a vital aspect of community health and wellbeing.
