That night in Kiev, 4 people could save lives, four people could have a heart transplant, two kidneys and a liver.. The doctors of the Heart Institute and the Shalimov Institute were ready to operate, the recipients were waiting, there was even the consent of the donor’s parents.

Mom of the late guy agreed without persuasion. She knows how to be on the other side of the line, four years ago her eldest son died of a liver disease, he also needed a transplant..

The younger son will not survive, she understood, but most of all she asked him to save someone’s life..

This night did not become a turning point for Ukrainian transplantology..

Do not have time, sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately.

And yet I would like to note: the fact that the doctors decided to report about a potential donor and talk to their relatives is the first step.. I promise we won't stop there..
