2 world firsts
HUG was the first hospital in the world to perform a liver transplant between two HIV virus carriers.
This transplant opens up unprecedented possibilities for people living with HIV. They can now state that they are potential organ donors. People carrying the HIV virus and awaiting an organ see their chances of receiving a transplant increase.
Another world first: the use of angiography during thyroid ablation.
