Oldest Italian organ donor at Fabriano, 97 1/2 yrs old

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 31 - The oldest every Italian organ donation was made in Fabriano in Marche on Sunnday when a liver was taken from a woman who died of a brain haemorrhage Saturday aged 97 years, six months and 29 days.
    The operation, which took place at the Engles Profilo Hospital, beat several 97-year-olds who were not as old as the Fabriano woman, in 2019 in Florence, in 2018 in Grosseto, in 2008 in Ravenna and in 2003 at Savona.
    The record-breaking liver was transplanted into another patient in a life-saving operation at the Di Torrette Hospital in Ancona, the Marche capital. (ANSA).
