Sentiments of condolence, but also of gratitude, to the family for the noble consent to organ donation, those expressed by the general director Maurizio Di Giosia, on behalf of the entire healthcare company, in relation to the death of the social healthcare worker who died due to massive pulmonary embolism. “Special thanks go to the family members who, in a moment of great pain, were able with their gesture to give life back to the patients who are awaiting with hope the return to life through the transplant”, declares Di Giosia, “The family, demonstrating great generosity and going beyond the immense pain, he agreed to organ donation and thus restored hope to five of the almost 8 thousand patients on the transplant waiting list in Italy. A sensitivity in line with the skills of our healthcare worker, highly appreciated by everyone within the company and also by the patients themselves.” Furthermore, the operator had also started a university course: she was enrolled in the first year of the degree course in Nursing Sciences at the University of L’Aquila, in the Teramo branch.
The multi-organ donation, the fourth since the beginning of the year to the Teramo Local Health Authority, took place the day before yesterday at the Sant’Omero hospital.
At the end of the procedures, the health personnel of the Vibratian facility began the multi-organ harvesting. The complex organizational machine of the donation process was thus set in motion following the will of the family members and through the work of the local, regional and national network, the donation of the heart, kidneys, liver and corneas was achieved. The organs were transplanted in the next few hours in Sicily, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio and Abruzzo.
“The work of the transplant network in Italy is a complex organizational model with formalized and coordinated methods between all the professionals and structures operating in the area, in this context the staff of the Sant’Omero hospital has worked in a network and tirelessly with great commitment and I also thank them” concludes the general director.
