Overview

  • The procurement on February 5 recovered two corneas and musculoskeletal tissue from a deceased 57-year-old donor at Hospital General del ISSSTE Querétaro.
  • The corneal tissue will restore or improve vision for three recipients in Mexico City through a technique that divides a membrane to treat two different ocular conditions.
  • Musculoskeletal grafts are expected to benefit more than 100 patients requiring reconstructive procedures, care for severe trauma, bone tumor treatment, or joint repair.
  • Four physicians from the Novoinjertos tissue bank and two ophthalmologists from HR “Lic. Adolfo López Mateos” participated, enabling rapid recipient identification through interinstitutional coordination.
  • Hospital officials noted family consent and a ceremonial homage in the facility’s Garden of Heroes, highlighted 19 donations from 2020–2025, and directed prospective donors to register with CENATRA.
