The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may God protect him, has graciously approved the awarding of the King Abdulaziz Medal, Third Class, to 200 citizens (men and women). This prestigious honor recognizes their noble humanitarian initiative of donating one of their major organs, whether from a living donor or a brain-dead individual, in an act that embodies the highest ideals of altruism and selflessness in saving the lives of others.
King Abdulaziz Medal: A high-level national honor
The King Abdulaziz Medal, named after the founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is one of the highest civilian decorations in the country. Established by Royal Decree No. 4 dated 1/4/1391 AH, it is awarded in recognition of those who render distinguished service to the state or one of its institutions, perform acts of significant moral value, or make great sacrifices. The medal comprises five classes (Excellent, First, Second, Third, and Fourth), and its awarding reflects the Saudi leadership's deep appreciation for the outstanding contributions of individuals in various fields. This honor bestowed upon organ donors is a recognition of the highest form of human sacrifice.
A humanitarian initiative to save lives
This royal recognition comes within the framework of the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to promote a culture of organ donation, a humanitarian act that contributes to saving the lives of thousands of patients suffering from end-stage organ failure. These efforts are overseen by specialized entities such as the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, which works to organize and coordinate donation and transplant operations according to the highest medical and ethical standards. The decision to donate an organ, whether during life or after death, offers new hope and a better life to patients who were on long waiting lists, and reflects a growing societal awareness of the importance of this charitable act.
The impact of honoring society
Awarding the King Abdulaziz Medal to organ donors is not only a personal tribute to these heroes and their families, but also carries a powerful message to the entire community. It highlights the importance of this noble act and encourages more members of society to register for organ donation. This official recognition also strengthens national pride and social responsibility, and affirms that the state, under its leadership, values and honors the sacrifices of its citizens that serve the common good and promote the values of solidarity and compassion within society.
