On Tuesday, February 7, Professor Kerbaul, during the presentation of data on organ transplantation in the country, expressed his satisfaction because “The number of transplants achieved in 2022 is encouraging”, although it has not yet returned to the pre-crisis level.

According to the Biomedical Agency, the global increase in organ transplants is 4% compared to 5,494 transplants in 2021 (compared to 5,901 in 2019, before the health crisis). The professor highlighted that the general activity in this field of medicine is still less than before the health crisis.
