Saudia Cargo said it has renewed its agreement for highly specialized human organ transportation for the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation.
      The Center’s Director General, Dr. Faisal Shaheen, and Saudia Cargo Chief Executive Officer Mr. Nabil Khojah recently concluded the new agreement, continuing a partnership of time-critical transportation for transplantaton in effect since January 2014.
      “Saudia Cargo seeks to enhance the role of our social responsibility through different activities,” Nabil Khojah said.
      “We offer extreme priority to shipments in terms of receipt and delivery via all cargo terminals in the Kingdom’s airports.
      “Additionally, for 2017 we are providing these cargo services throughout our system to the Arabian Gulf countries.”
      For the record, shipments delivered to the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation totaled 217 in 2016.
      Founded in 2012, the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation is a national, publicly-funded organization responsible for coordinating the organ donation process in Saudi Arabia.
      Dr. Faisal Shaheen noted that the expanded Saudia Cargo agreement will allow the Saudi Organ Center “to expand our effort to secure human organs from specialized centers and health bodies in the Arabian Gulf countries.”
