Hamad Medical Corporation needs donor for first heart transplant

"Hamad Medical Corporation is waiting for a donor heart to conduct Qatar's first heart transplant. 'We are ready,' consultant cardiac and transplant surgeon Dr Abdulaziz al-Khulaifi told Gulf Times. But, people are not ready to donate the hearts of their dying relatives, he explained. This is due to a lack of awareness about the benefits of donating organs from a brain dead person on life support." - Gulf Times
