Patient Vakhidjon Nazarov from the Olot district had been suffering from cirrhosis of the liver for several years, and local doctors, with the participation of specialists from the National Medical Center, made the decision to perform the complex operation.

Currently, the condition of the patient and the donor is satisfactory, and they continue treatment under the supervision of doctors.
