Achievements Việt Nam’s journey in organ transplantation began in 1992, with its first kidney transplant performed with assistance from foreign experts. By early this year the country had performed nearly 8,000 organ transplants, including over 7,000 kidney transplants and 500 liver transplants, saving thousands of lives. Việt Nam now performs more than 1,000 organ transplants annually, making it a leading country in Southeast Asia in this field. There are about 300 brain dead persons in Việt Nam every day, yet most of their organs go unused. By streamlining registration and enabling better tracking of potential donors, Việt Nam can increase efficiency and build public trust.
