Aliaa Specialized Hospital is preparing to carry out bone marrow transplants inside after the success of the first two liver transplant operations in the country, which were performed last Wednesday, the first in which a mother donated to her daughter, followed by a second surgery last Thursday, in which a son donated liver to father.

The medical director of Aliaa Specialized Hospital, consultant neurosurgeon, Major General Doctor Zakaria Ibrahim explained in a press conference held on Friday in the hospital that planning to carry out liver transplants in the country began five years ago, by conducting a scientific study, which indicated that no less than 50 patients travel monthly to perform liver transplants abroad, with a cost ranging from 40, 000 to 55,000 US dollars.

 The press conference was attended by the Sudanese team of surgeons headed by the consultant of liver and biliary tract surgery, Dr. Al-Fateh Yusuf, and the Indian surgeon Shailendra.

Dr.Zakaria said that the two surgeries that were carried out for liver transplantation were successful, and that the two patients are now in good condition.
