Dear DHA Stakeholders

 

Organ Donation and Transplantation as one of the medical miracles of the twentieth century, has prolonged and improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide due to the countless acts of generosity by organ donors and their families, which  made organ donation & transplantation not only a life-saving therapy but a shining symbol of human Solidarity, Tolerance and Coexistence.

The UAE Organ donation and Transplantation has been rated by the International Society for Organ donation as the fastest Growing deceased donation program with 417 % over last 5 years.

The program had more than 53 nationalities who either donated or benefited from organ donation and transplantation with many inspiring stories.

The New Federal Law ( 25 ) 2023 by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan the President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi supports the UAE program advance to new Horizons.

The UAE law ( article 3 ) for organ donation and transplantation mandates fair distribution of the donated human organs to  patients as per their health conditions, regardless of gender, race, religion, or social or financial status. The UAE law ( article 16 )  further gives priority points for Organ allocation for the following:
