Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Joa\u0303o do Rosa\u0301rio underwent a kidney transplant five years ago in Portugal and hopes that other people can do the same in Cape Verde, now that the law to that effect has been approved, an opportunity that doctors also like.<\/p>\n\u201cAfter the kidney transplant, my life changed considerably\u201d, Joa\u0303o Augusto do Rosa\u0301rio, a journalist by profession, told Lusa, who was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2009, having undergone hemodialysis for the following nine years, until receiving a new kidney in 2018.<\/p>\n
During all this time, he was practically \u201cinactive\u201d in Portugal, but returned to Cape Verde and currently resides on the island of Sa\u0303o Vicente, where he is from, \u201cwith a more or less active life\u201d, exercising his profession and doing things you like.<\/p>\n
Even though he was not directly targeted, at least with regard to kidneys, Joa\u0303o do Rosa\u0301rio was happy with the approval, on December 8, in the Cape Verdean parliament, of the proposed law on donation, harvesting and transplantation of human organs .<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will have a huge impact on our country, both at a social, economic and political level\u201d, he highlighted, remembering that a dialysis session, lasting four hours, costs around 250 euros, amounts that the country could save and take advantage of help from Portugal to invest in other sectors.<\/p>\n
Now that the law has been approved, Joa\u0303o do Rosa\u0301rio hopes that it will be implemented as quickly as possible, to benefit many of the current approximately 300 chronic kidney disease patients undergoing treatment in the country’s two dialysis centers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really hope that the first transplant and several transplants will be carried out in Cape Verde\u201d, said the journalist, who is now only going to Portugal for a \u201ccheck-up\u201d, highlighting, in an interview, via videoconference, with Lusa, that he feels \u201cvery good”.<\/p>\n
For the president of the Cape Verdean Medical Association (OMCV), Danielson da Veiga, the law \u201ccame at a good time\u201d, although he admits that the first transplant in the country, which will be free, will only happen within five years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a first step\u201d, said the surgeon, in an interview with Lusa, in the city of Praia, saying that now it\u2019s time to start making \u201cadjustments\u201d and regulations, leading up to the installation of a center for organ transplantation in the city. country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to start capitalizing on our system in order to reduce the suffering of patients, who want to be with their family, their doctor and also live their lives with dignity\u201d, he pointed out.<\/p>\n
In addition to being an opportunity to put into practice much of the knowledge acquired in the specialty, the president highlighted that it will be a way for Cape Verde to take advantage of doctors in the diaspora and carry out exchanges and partnerships with colleagues from other countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to take on this responsibility, if we have experts here, we have partners abroad, why not start?\u201d, insisted Danielson da Veiga, stressing that this could also be another area in which the country can \u201ccompete\u201d in the African region. Western, of which it is a part.<\/p>\n
\u201cCape Verde is a country of peace, tranquility and a great force of attracting tourists, [with] the possibility of developing health tourism, which would be a very great opportunity\u201d, he said, noting that, in the region, there are countries with financial and health service structuring problems.<\/p>\n
In the discussion of the diploma, the most sensitive point was the issue of consent, which will be presumed, instead of declared during life, for people who have died in an accident or as a result of it.<\/p>\n
For the president, this is a \u201cnormal and legitimate\u201d debate, but he stressed that the country had to \u201cstart with something\u201d and \u201cmaintain the momentum\u201d of \u201cvery good progress\u201d in health.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot have everything ready and then approve the law\u201d, he explained, promising to hold clarification sessions for the population, regarding a rule that will now be discussed in the specialty and will come into force six months after official publication.<\/p>\n
