Organ Donation
There are almost one million citizens who need cornea transplants.
Four people were arrested over accusations of recruiting victims via social media, and trafficking their body organs in exchange of money.
Sheikh Khalid al-Gendy, a member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, announced that he will be attending Sherif al-Gazar’s funeral and that he too wants to have his organs donated, after death, so that people in need may benefit.
According to the security sector, no reports about human organ thefts have been received and the information systems did not monitor this situation.
