Saudi Hospital Earns Global Buzz For Groundbreaking Transplant Tech

Hera Shabbir

Riyadh’s King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center is taking the world by storm, becoming a global hotspot for life-saving organ transplants!

This past year alone, they pulled off a jaw-dropping 1,092 transplants, including some seriously groundbreaking procedures!

Get this: the world’s first-ever liver transplant from a living donor using robotic technology. And if that wasn’t innovative enough, they’ve now made history again with the world’s first fully robotic heart transplant. Talk about ground-breaking progress!

Since kicking off their transplant program in 1981, KFSHRC has smashed through 9,000 successful transplants and counting

But they’re not stopping there. They’ve introduced a game-changing Kidney Paired Donation (KPD) program, which has helped over 5,000 people get new kidneys by matching patients with living donors who weren’t initially compatible. This means faster transplants and more lives saved!

With all these accomplishments, it’s no wonder KFSHRC has been ranked number one in the Middle East and Africa for the second year in a row, and 20th among the world’s top academic medical centers
