The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud - may God protect him - has approved the awarding of the King Abdulaziz Medal of the Third Class to 200 male and female citizens, in recognition of their noble humanitarian initiative to donate one of their major organs, whether the donation was from a living person or from a brain-dead person.
Signs of honoring and showing interest in the health sector
This ongoing royal recognition stems from the generous care the wise leadership bestows upon the health sector in the Kingdom, and encourages humanitarian initiatives that contribute to saving patients' lives. The King Abdulaziz Medal is one of the highest Saudi decorations, awarded in recognition of the distinguished services individuals render to the nation and society. Designating this medal for organ donors reflects the high value the state places on the concepts of altruism and social solidarity, in accordance with the teachings of Islam, which urge the preservation of life.
Promoting a culture of organ donation in the Kingdom
Through the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation and its advanced medical facilities, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is striving to promote a culture of organ donation to bridge the gap between waiting lists and the number of donors. These individual initiatives, recognized today, offer renewed hope to patients with organ failure, alleviating their suffering from dialysis, liver disease, heart disease, and other ailments, thus improving their quality of life and aligning with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 to build a healthy and cohesive society.
