For the first time, the Odesa Regional Clinical Hospital performed a multi-organ donation and transplantation. The donor was a patient with a severe ischemic stroke.

This was reported by the Department of Health of the Odesa Regional State Administration.

Together with their colleagues from the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Shalimov National Research Center, the doctors transplanted kidneys to two patients, and the heart was taken to Kyiv and transplanted to a 24-year-old patient.

The donor was a patient with a severe ischemic stroke who was diagnosed with brain death. His relatives agreed to the donation.

The organs were received:

  • A 49-year-old former military man (born in 1974) - a kidney;
  • A 31-year-old internally displaced resident of Kherson region (born in 1992) - a kidney;
  • A 24-year-old patient (born in 2000) - a heart.

The hospital notes that this is the first such case in the region, which allowed saving several lives at the same time. The donor was escorted through the corridor of honor.

Earlier, Odesa found funding for the purchase of an MRI and ultrasound machine for Hospital No. 10 for UAH 127 million.

The project involves the reconstruction of premises for the equipment, its installation, and staff training. All works will last until 2026.

It also became known that Hospital No. 10 was overpaid for medical services by more than a million hryvnias. The contract was signed with a private company, although there was a cheaper one among the tender offers. The tender was won by the private company B.M.L. LLC. The beneficiary of this company is Olha Bohomolets, who was formerly Viktor Yushchenko's personal physician and a member of the Ukrainian parliament.
