[InTime News]
Three seriously ill patients have been given a new lease on life after the family of a 25-year-old traffic accident victim decided to donate her organs.
According to the state-run Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA), the young woman’s kidneys were successfully transplanted into patients at Thessaloniki’s Ippokrateio Hospital and at Athens’ Evangelismos, while her liver went to a patient at the Laiko General Hospital, also in the Greek capital.
Meanwhile, the Papageorgiou hospital, also in Thessaloniki, is planning to transplant one of her corneas into a blind patient.
The 25-year-old woman was hit by a van in the Thessaloniki suburb of Polichni on January 11 and died at the northern port city’s Ippokrateio Hospital on Saturday.
