"Transplantation is not a solo endeavor; it is like performing in a perfectly synchronized orchestra."

As we begin the year 2025 with ONE COMMON GOAL – COLLABORATION IS POSSIBLE, we remain dedicated to helping those for whom transplantation is their last hope. Together, we aim to extend lives and improve quality of life.

6th January: A photo opportunity took place during the Lung Transplant Core Team's courtesy call, led by Chairperson Dr. Edmund Villaroman, with LCP Executive Director Dr. Vincent Balanag. This was followed by his brief visit to the Thoracic Surgery and Anesthesia Department's office.

As we observe Lung Month this August 2024, we have a unique opportunity to make a profound impact on lives across the nation. Every breath we take is a reminder of how essential and fragile life can be. For those suffering from severe lung conditions, the gift of a healthy organ can be life-changing, offering a new lease on life and a future filled with hope.

By choosing to register as an organ donor, you are giving more than just a chance at recovery—you’re offering a second chance at life. Your decision can help those waiting for a life-saving lung transplant and ensure that their future is filled with breath and possibility.

This month, let’s come together to spread awareness about the crucial need for organ donors. Share your decision, encourage others to do the same, and help create a community where the gift of life is valued and celebrated. Your choice today can mean a brighter tomorrow for someone in desperate need. Register as an organ donor and become a beacon of HOPE this Lung Month.

Kung Hindi natin sisimulan ngayon ang pakikibahagi ng pagtulong, Kelan?
