Saudi king grants order of merit to honor 100 organ donor citizens

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has approved granting the King Abdulaziz Medal of Third Class to 100 male and female donors, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The donors have been awarded medals for donating one of their major organs, as part of an initiative launched by the Kingdom in 1993.

The Saudi Organ Transplantation Center, formally known as the National Kidney Foundation, was set up to coordinate the final stages of organ disease medical facilities and promote health education.
