Organ Donation and Transplantation

At Dubai Health, we are proud to be an active member of the UAE’s national organ donation and transplantation program, Hayat, which is governed by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP). The UAE has achieved 417% growth over the past five years, becoming the world’s fastest-growing program in organ donation.

We are committed to complementing national efforts in this vital program, staying true to our patient-first ethos. Our goal is to advance health outcomes for patients with organ failure and contribute meaningfully to this humane initiative.

Rashid Hospital represents this commitment as a leading organ donation facility in the UAE, with 65+ organ donors contributing to over 200 organ transplants, saving lives in the UAE and beyond.

We understand the profound impact organ donation can have in extending and enhancing lives.  Therefore, our aim is to honor the generous decision of organ donation and facilitate the process with utmost care and sensitivity.

We invite you to join us in this life-saving mission. To learn more about organ donation and to register to be an organ donor, please visit the Hayat Program webpage on the Ministry of Health and Prevention’s official website.

• Living Donation

Living donation involves individuals voluntarily donating a part of their organ, such as a kidney or a portion of the liver, to someone in need. At Dubai Health, we offer living-donation kidney transplantation services in our facilities. The donor surgery is typically performed at Dubai Hospital.

• Deceased Donation

Deceased donation involves the donation of organs and tissues after a person has passed away. Ideally, the donor should have registered through the Hayat Program. If registration was not completed, the family can choose to donate the organs after the person’s death.

Organ transplantation involves transferring an organ or tissue from a living or deceased donor into the patient’s body to replace a damaged or failing organ. At Dubai Health, we offer comprehensive kidney transplantation services for both adults and children. Our highly skilled medical teams utilize advanced surgical techniques and postoperative care to ensure the best outcomes for both donors and recipients.

• Kidney Transplantation

At our facilities, we provide specialized kidney transplantation services for both adults and children. Adult kidney transplants are carried out at Dubai Hospital, while pediatric transplants are conducted at Al Jalila Children's Hospital. Since 2018, we have successfully performed more than 85 kidney transplants, providing advanced medical care and comprehensive support tailored to the unique needs of each patient group.
