A 27-year-old Saudi woman who died at King Fahd Specialist Hospital in Dammam saved the lives of four Saudi men aged 15 to 64, media reports said on Tuesday.

The woman was lying in the hospital brain dead for the past week and a charitable organization named “Ethar” approached her family to encourage them to donate her organs to patients in need.

“We succeeded in convincing the family and her organs helped save the lives of four people,” said Abdul Aziz Al-Turki, chairman of Ethar, adding that the organs were transplanted to the needy patients.

The woman’s heart was given to a 44-year-old Saudi patient at Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Riyadh; one kidney was donated to a 15-year-old Saudi boy in Riyadh; liver was transplanted to a 64-year-old patient in Dammam; and the other kidney went to a 36-year-old man in Dammam, according to a report carried by Alarabiya.net.
