Doha, Qatar: The Doha International Center for Strategy and Leadership in Transplantation was launched on Monday as part of Qatar’s commitment to promoting ethical organ donation and transplantation worldwide.
The centre is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), and key international institutes in transplantation, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), to address the global challenges facing the field of organ donation and transplantation. The announcement was made during an event held to honour 139 organ donors and recipients and pay tribute to 18 deceased donors.
“Qatar’s organ donation and transplantation programmes have changed the lives of thousands since they were established. We are proud that our programmes are considered models to be emulated. Today we are adding another milestone to our programmes and we are establishing the Doha International Center for Strategy and Leadership in Transplantation. Through this body, we will be supporting the development of transplant programmes globally—sharing our knowledge and our experience in Qatar with other countries,” said HMC’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Abdulla Al Ansari.
“The centre is guided by our own principles of equity and fairness as well as an eminent international advisory board of experts. At Hamad Medical Corporation, the commitment and expertise of our teams have enabled the development of our transplant programmes. Further enabling this has been our commitment to driving innovation and harnessing the latest techniques,” he added.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Clinical Affairs and Director of Qatar Center for Organ Transplantation Dr. Yousef Al Maslamani highlighted that the Doha International Center for Strategy and Leadership in Transplantation builds upon the successful achievements of the Doha Donation Accord.
