Both transplant recipients and their donors are recovering well, thanks to the careful oversight of Raslouw Private Hospital’s dedicated intensive care team. Dr IO Ebrahim, CEO and Founder of the hospital, stated, “This achievement represents a monumental leap forward, not just for our hospital, but for South Africa’s broader transplant landscape.” He added that organ shortage remains a significant problem in the country, and increasing access to living donor programmes provides critical support to patients with end-stage liver disease. The success of these initial surgeries highlights the exceptional expertise and commitment of the surgical and nursing staff.
Hospital Director Dr I Mitha and Manager Mrs Maryke Lotz praised the medical team for establishing this advanced capability, emphasising Raslouw Private Hospital’s dedication to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care while helping to ease the pressure on national organ waiting lists.
Raslouw Private Hospital, located in Centurion, South Africa, is a modern acute care facility that focuses on providing innovative medical services. It combines state-of-the-art technology with skilled medical specialists to serve as a comprehensive healthcare and surgical innovation hub.
