The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques awards the King Abdulaziz Medal to 200 organ donors
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 citizens, in recognition of their noble humanitarian initiatives, represented by each of them donating one of their major organs, whether the donation was from a living person or from a brain-dead person, to save the lives of other patients and end their suffering with organ failure.
Significance of the honor and importance of the King Abdulaziz Medal
This ongoing royal recognition underscores the keenness of the wise leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to encourage charitable and humanitarian work and to strengthen the values of social solidarity among members of society. The King Abdulaziz Medal is one of the highest Saudi decorations, awarded in its various classes in recognition of the distinguished services rendered by individuals to the nation and society. The third class is specifically awarded to organ donors as a form of official and public gratitude for their sacrifices that contribute to saving lives.
Promoting a culture of organ donation in the Kingdom
The Kingdom, through the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation and various health sectors, is working to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation, which represents a lifeline for thousands of patients on waiting lists. Recent years have witnessed a growing number of citizens registering for organ donation programs, supported by technological facilitations such as the "Tawakkalna" app and religious edicts emphasizing the immense reward for this ongoing act of charity. These procedures contribute to reducing the economic and health burdens resulting from dialysis and treatments for chronic organ failure, thus serving the goal of improving the quality of life as envisioned by the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
