Last year, the organization was able to perform six ablations thanks to organ donation, an achievement that Miniguini called “very positive.” Although there have been changes in the authorities, the commitment remains firm. “Today we have regained second place in donation, ablations and transplantation,” he commented, also mentioning the collaboration with the new director.
