Story 2
Tygerberg Hospital has marked a significant milestone with the successful care of its first LifePod donor patient, thanks to the student-led initiative Save7.
The LifePod, launched in June, is a dedicated ICU space designed to provide specialized care for consenting organ donors, bridging the gap in donor management.
This pioneering facility has already made a profound impact, with one donor and their family agreeing to organ and tissue donation, transforming over 10 lives awaiting transplants.
Prof Elmi Muller, Dean of Medicine and Health Sciences at Stellenbosch University, praised the achievement, highlighting the LifePod's crucial role in maintaining organ viability during the critical 12 to 36-hour period before transplant surgery.
