Dead doctor’s organs give new life to four this Christmas

THE family of a 43-year-old doctor who died on Thursday has donated his organs for transplant, giving hope to four suffering fellow human beings this Christmas.

Child neurologist Stavros Hadjiloizou who died from a heart attack was buried in Nicosia yesterday.

The doctor’s kidneys were donated to two Cypriot patients, while his liver was flown to Greece, to be transplanted to a Greek man. Hadjiloizou’s lungs were sent to Israel.

The 43-year-old returned to Cyprus around three years ago after completing his training in Greece and the United States.

He did his basic studies at the University of Ioannina, before moving to the US to do his specialisation.

Hadjiloizou specialised in pediatrics, child neurology and neurophysiology in New York, Tufts New England Medical Centre and the Harvard Medical School respectively.

He worked as a professor at the epilepsy unit of the Boston Children’s Hospital and the Harvard Medical School.

In 2007 he founded the Cyprus Institute of Child neurology with Dr. Paola Nicolaides.

He was a member of Doctors of the World and also founded the Cyprus Child Development Foundation, which treats children with multiple disabilities and neurological problems.

Actually, 'well done' to this outstanding individual and his family for their decision to donate his organs and enhance the lives of four desperately ill people. Condolences to his family and friends.

Sincere condolences to the Hadjiloizou family for their sad loss, of one so young and talented. Hopefully, they can gain comfort from knowing how many he has helped to better health, generously, across this region of our troubled world.

It always troubles me when young talented proffessionals like this pass away suddenly. He had so much to offer the world (and children), may he rest in peace.

Was good of him and his family to donate his organs, i am not surprised as he was a doctor.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Organ donation should be an opt out thing, not an opt in. Unless you specify otherwise, your organs should be available.

Anybody want my liver?

You should donate it to medical science to find out why its immune to the effects of alcohol.

Certain people are 'immune' to the dire effects of alcohol.

You should contact KEO HQ and ask them if they would be interested in recycling it!!!
