Situație paradoxală în România: inimile disponibile pentru transplant sunt trimise în străinătate

Romania is exporting hearts for transplant due to a lack of prepared patients, despite having donors available. The number of heart transplants has significantly decreased this year, with only seven surgeries performed so far. This situation arises not from a shortage of donors, but from the absence of compatible patients ready for surgery. Medical professionals face challenges in utilizing available organs, leading to exports to countries like Germany and France. Advanced preservation technology allows for the transport of hearts, extending their viability during transit. Slovenia stands out in Europe for its high transplant rate relative to its population, highlighting systemic issues in Romania's transplant framework.
