Gulf News, 19 February 2025: The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has announced updated standards for organ and tissue donation and transplantation, aiming to enhance patient care and save lives.

These improvements include expanding the donor pool through new protocols for organ donation after brain and circulatory death, which will increase the availability of organs and offer more life-saving opportunities.

The standards also focus on better donor-recipient matching for kidney, corneal, and tissue transplants, leading to higher success rates and improved recovery.

Additionally, updated services for kidney transplants and new standards for liver, pancreas, heart, and lung transplants provide access to the latest medical advancements.

The new standards were announced at a workshop for DHA-licensed hospitals, held in collaboration with international and national organ donation and transplant organisations.
