The family of a 57-year-old car crash victim who succumbed to his injuries over the weekend, announced on Tuesday they wish to donate his organs, according to Paphos police spokesman Michalis Nikolaou.
In statements to the Cyprus News Agency, Nikolaou said the organ donation is expected to be arranged by the doctors at the Nicosia general hospital.
[ORGAN DONATION] is an act of love and giving to our fellow man and it is up to the generosity of donors and the consent of their families if they wish to give life to patients in need of a transplant, Nikolaou said.
He added that organ transplantation can save the life of one or more patients or significantly improve their health and quality of life.
The police chief added an autopsy is expected to be performed on the 57-year-olds body, at a date to be set at a later stage.
The victim of the accident, identified as 57-year-old Kyriakos Economides from Yiolou, was critically injured in a car crash that occurred on Christmas Day and succumbed to his injuries by noon.
