The
Hanoitimes - Viet Duc Hospital has
implemented successfully a liver transplant for a 74-year-old patient – the
oldest among those who got liver transplant in Vietnam to date.
Director
Nguyen Tien Quyet of the Hanoi-based hospital said that the patient health was
in good recovery after a seven-hour operation on May 6.
Liver
donor was the patient's relative who was 40 years old.
The
cost for an organ transplant in Vietnam is 200-230 million VND (10,000 - 11,000
USD), about two or three times lower than other countries.
