MUSCAT: Liver and kidney transplants in the Sultanate of Oman are a successful bid to inculcate the culture of organ donation at a time 3,000 patients are in queue and subsisting on dialysis.
This is a psychologically and physically tiring experience, said Oman Minister of Health HE Dr. Mohammed Al Saidi at the launch of an educational application for organ transplant aimed to help disseminate accurate information and boost the option of organ donation.
The minister also cautioned that the main factor behind the low rate of organ transplant operations in Oman is the lack of donors. He said that Royal Hospital began kidney transplants in 1988 and the programme is still going on and developing.
