P*P STATEMENT ON END-OF-LIFE CARE AND DECEASED ORGAN DONATION

EPISODE 4: TALKING KIDNEYS PODCAST!🎙️
Kalusugan mo, Kwento natin! 💪😁

Topic: “From SURVIVAL to STRENGTH: Navigating MENTAL HEALTH in the CKD Journey and Preparing for KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.”💖

Sa episode na ito, pag-uusapan natin ang paglalakbay mula sa simpleng pag-survive tungo sa pagiging matatag sa gitna ng hamon ng Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Tatalakayin natin ang epekto nito sa mental health, ang takot, pagod, at pangamba, at kung paano ito hinaharap araw-araw ng mga pasyente at kanilang pamilya. Bibigyang-diin din natin ang kahalagahan ng suporta mula sa komunidad, tamang kaalaman, at pag-aalaga sa sarili upang mapanatili ang pag-asa at lakas ng loob sa kabila ng pinagdadaanan.

Kasama rin sa usapan ang paghahanda para sa kidney transplant, hindi lamang pisikal, kundi pati emosyonal at mental na aspeto. Ibabahagi ang mga praktikal na hakbang, inspirasyon mula sa tunay na karanasan, at mga paraan kung paano mapapalakas ang loob habang naghihintay ng bagong pagkakataon sa buhay. Sa huli, layunin ng episode na ito na ipaalala na sa bawat pagsubok, may kakayahan tayong bumangon at maging mas matatag.

A Historic First: Lung Transplantation in the Philippines 🇵🇭🫁
The Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP), in collaboration with National Kidney Transplant Institute (NKTI), humbly shares a historic milestone. After more than 30 years in the making, the first ever lung transplantation in the Philippines has finally been performed.
On the night of April 6, 2026, the Joint LCP-NKTI Lung Transplantation Program received and carried out a multiorgan retrieval at the Makati Medical Center. The donor, through her family, who initially suffered a massive cerebrovascular event, gave the ultimate sacrifice of allowing her remaining organs to be donated to five (5) patients who were in need of “new” lungs, liver, 2 kidneys, and cornea respectively.
After the retrieval, the healthy lungs were transported back to the Lung Center, and on the early morning of April 7, 2026, a bilateral sequential lung transplantation was performed on a young patient with end stage interstitial lung disease. The procedure was difficult, and our transplant team could not have achieved this great feat if not for the shared efforts of our surgeons, anesthesiologists, critical care & transplant specialists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, nurses, perfusionists, transplant coordinators, transplant psychiatrist, pulmonary and physical rehabilitation specialists, infectious disease specialist, pathologist, nutritionists, medical social workers, and many other allied support services. The whole Lung Center community has worked tirelessly not only now, but since the program has started, united by the shared mission to heal and to serve.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the donor and her family, the dedicated teams of Makati Medical Center, our transplant coordinators from the Human Organ Preservation Effort (HOPE), and all who worked relentlessly behind the scenes. Their compassion and commitment made this seemingly impossible endeavor, possible. We would also like to give special recognition to Professor Kim Ha Eun, our visiting thoracic surgeon from Yonsei Severance Hospital Seoul, South Korea, whose generosity in sharing her knowledge and expertise helped guide our team in this journey.
However, our goals are still far from accomplished. We humbly ask for continued prayers and support for our patient during her post operative course. She is currently still in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), and not without some difficulties. Although she still has a long journey ahead, we are exerting all our efforts to make her go back home safe and sound. We pray for her continued strength, healing, and full recovery.
