First Child to receive a Kidney Transplant in Dubai

Nine-year-old Bana Nizar Hassan from Sudan became the first child to receive a kidney transplant in Dubai. The surgery was performed at Al Jalila Children’s Speciality Hospital by a joint medical team from Al Jalila Children’s, the UAE’s first and only dedicated children’s hospital, and Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), with the team led by MBRU’s prominent transplant surgeons Dr. David Hickey, Professor of Surgery and Dr. Farhad Janahi, Assistant Professor of Surgery. A total of nine government and health authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi worked together seamlessly to ensure that the kidney from a deceased donor in Abu Dhabi was transplanted within the necessary 12-hour window. This is Bana's story!
