The UK’s 1st organ transplant from a newborn baby
Published on: 23/02/2015
When a poorly six-day old baby girl died, her parents made the extremely brave decision to donate her organs so others could live. Her kidneys and her liver cells were given to two separate recipients during the UK’s 1st ever newborn organ transplant.
Experts argue there is potential for more life-saving donations, but say current UK guidelines are prohibitive.
An official review is expected by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health this year.
