Tee Hui Yi Has Second Heart Transplant In Two Days

October 05, 2007 14:54 PM

 PUTRAJAYA, Oct 5 (Bernama) -- Tee Hui Yi, 14, had a second heart transplant early this morning after her body rejected the first heart transplanted on her Thursday, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek disclosed today.

Dr Chua said the second heart transplant was performed on her from 2am to 8am at the National Heart Institute, Kuala Lumpur.

"Her condition is more stable now although still critical," he told a press conference after chairing the meeting of the Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Action Committee at the National Anti-Drug Agency here.

Dr Chua said Tee was lucky as there was a ready organ donor from Johor Baharu after her body rejected the first heart given to her.

Tee had been dependant on a mechanical heart for a year before getting the first heart donated by the family of a youth from Sitiawan, Perak, yesterday.

Dr Chua declined to reveal the identity of the second donor as requested by the donor's family, saying that "all organ donors hope they are not disturbed by the media".

"The government thanks the donor and hopes that the kind gesture could be emulated by others." He said about 6,000 people were killed in road accidents in this country each year, with 1,500 of them going into a coma or were brain dead by the time they reached the hospital.

"This group is the main source of organ donations for those in need of transplants," he added.

Dr Chua said Malaysia needed 1,200 kidneys, 450 hearts and 200 livers each year to save the lives of patients.

"Even in fatal accident cases, we can still save the lives of others. And I understand that no religion is against organ donation," he said.
