Dec 05, 2017 Irene Lamunu Latest News Comments Off on Medical miracle: 50 years since first heart transplant
This week marks a significant milestone in experimental surgery – one that would be cheered, debated, and forever talked about. Fifty years ago, South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard successfully performed the first human-to-human heart transplant.
Since then, thousands of lives have been saved by this groundbreaking technology, mostly in developed nations.
Five decades later, nearly 4,000 people have the surgery each year, with an average wait time of about 191 days.
So how far have we come since that medical milestone? And what heart technology will help shape the future?
