TAORMINA (MESSINA) – “The death of Francesco Caruso, 22 years old, which occurred a few days ago, after a head-on collision on Saturday afternoon on Highway 114 in Taormina, affected the entire community, but the noble gesture of the family who donated the organs and the expertise of the doctors at San Vincenzo in Taormina will make 7 people live.” This was stated by the extraordinary commissioner of the ASP of Messina, Giuseppe Cuccì.
The gesture of love from Francesco’s family
Cuccì joins in the family’s grief and congratulates the team coordinated by Giuseppe Bova who performed the operation, after theverification of irreversibility of brain functions by the medical commission. “After the death was confirmed – he continues – the complex machine for organ removal operations (heart, liver, kidneys and corneas) was set in motion which made it possible to save the lives of people, including a little girl in Turin and other patients at Ismett and at Civico di Palermo.
Cuccì: “Organ donation is important”
“Organ donation is of fundamental importance – continues Cuccì – to guarantee the survival of many individuals, who often find themselves in an extremely urgent situation and depend on the generosity of those who have decided to donate their organs. Thanks to the explantation and subsequent donation, it is possible to save human lives giving a second chance to those who otherwise would have had no hope of recovery.”
And finally: “It is important to raise awareness among the population about the importance of donation, because every day in Italy and around the world many people die waiting for a transplant. Donating your organs means donating life and giving hope concrete to those who fight against serious and often incurable diseases”.
