In 2024, KFSHRC’s Organ Transplant Centre of Excellence (OTCoE) performed 882 organ transplants, a 6% increase from 2023, securing its position among the top ten transplant centres globally. The hospital’s kidney transplant program has surpassed 5,000 transplants since its inception, demonstrating its unparalleled expertise in meeting complex medical demands with precision and care.

 

Building on this foundation of excellence, innovations in robotic surgery defined the year. The world’s first fully robotic heart transplant, the world's first living donor left lobe liver transplant, and the Middle East’s first robotic pancreas transplant offered transformative solutions for Type 1 diabetes patients. KFSHRC also performed the region’s first liver transplant for MNGIE disease, contributing to the treatment of rare medical diseases.

 

 

Leadership in the paediatric transplant was another highlight of the OTCoE in 2024. Over 100 liver transplants, 80 kidney transplants, and two lung transplants, fostering hope for young patients and their families, placed KFSHRC among the world’s top five centres for paediatric transplant procedures. Additionally, its kidney-paired exchange program set a new Guinness World Record with 135 exchanges, optimising donor-recipient matching.

 

Complementing these clinical advancements, KFSHRC maintained high survival and graft rates while expanding its specialized care offerings with a new liver transplant centre in Jeddah and the region’s first Fatty Liver Clinic.
