Overview
- Two procurements were carried out simultaneously in Rosario at HECA and Sanatorio Italiano Sur, and a third took place 48 hours later at Hospital Provincial del Centenario, together enabling 11 transplants.
- Teams procured six kidneys, three livers, two hearts, one pancreas and several tissues, and one recipient received a combined kidney‑and‑pancreas transplant.
- Six of the transplants depended on sanitary flights from Rosario’s Islas Malvinas airport and involved coordinated work by medical crews, SIES 107, police, airport staff and drivers.
- Cudaio director Cecilia Andrada said running simultaneous donations put maximum strain on logistical and operative capacity but that interagency coordination made the response possible.
- The local operations join national figures showing 1,427 donation processes and 2,551 transplants so far in 2026, with Santa Fe recorded as the country’s second‑highest province for donation activity.
