Organ and blood donation is available in Qatar via internationally acclaimed donation centres established by Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).
Organ donation and transplant
The Qatar Organ Donation Center (HIBA) is an internationally acclaimed centre that practices high professional and ethical standards. The Doha Donation Accord, prepared by HMC and endorsed by world-leading experts in the field of organ donation and transplantation, ensures ethical, equitable, safe and legal processes for organ donation. The Donor Registry is unique in its design and includes over 100 nationalities.
HIBA marked the 10th anniversary of Qatar’s Organ Transplant and Organ Donation Programmes in 2022 with the organ donor registry exceeding 500,000 registered donors, around 25% of Qatar’s adult population – and up from the just 2,424 donors in 2012. The organ transplant programme offers kidney, liver and lung transplant surgeries, making HMC one of the most comprehensive transplant centres in the region.
