In most of the countries that have been performing organ transplantation surgeries,patients have to wait for weeks or months to have transplant surgeries..However it is not the case in our hospital.We can easily have our patients undergo organ transplantation surgeries in two days if all the related tests are matched good between the patient and the donor …The medical consultations and the examinations of the patient and the donor must be normal as well..i.e. no need to wait for months to have transplantation surgeries …

The other point that we need to mention here is that there is no strict age limit for performing organ transplantation surgeries in our hospital .Thanks to our amazing surgery team ,we have performed two successful organ transplantation surgeries on a three-months baby and a seventy years old patient so far.
