Each year, on June 6, the global medical community observes World Transplantology Day to raise awareness of the vital importance of organ donation and transplantation, which save lives and restore quality of life for thousands of patients.

SI "The Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine" is one of the leading medical institutions actively engaged in corneal transplantation. Thanks to the efforts of highly skilled specialists, dozens of patients each year gain the chance to see the world again.

Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is a complex, high-tech medical procedure that requires not only surgical precision but also high-quality donor material and strict adherence to ethical standards.

On this day, we express deep gratitude to donors and their families for their invaluable gift of sight and life. We also honor the doctors, researchers, and specialists who work daily in the field of transplantology, saving and improving lives.
