The Lviv Clinical Emergency Hospital has performed the first lung transplant in Ukraine.
According to the press center of the Lviv Clinical Emergency Hospital, the transplantation to 56-year-old Viktor was carried out on September 21, 2021. The donor was a 54-year-old man who died of a hemorrhagic stroke. The family of the deceased gave permission for organ harvesting.
Transplantation became possible thanks to the recent opening of the first transplant center in Ukraine, which was opened on the basis of the Lviv Emergency Clinical Hospital Center.
“It is very important that our Center is located in isolation. It has its own separate ventilation, separate wards only for transplanted patients. After all, such patients, as a rule, have low immune function,” head of the center Maksym Ovechko said.
