Saudi- Draw decides which of four brothers will give sibling kidney


(MENAFN- Arab News) JEDDAH: Disputes over sharing of property or inheriting family business are common. But Dhahran has witnessed an unusual fight among four brothers over donating kidney to their youngest brother.
Coincidentally all the brothers were found fit to donate kidney to the youngest sibling Abdullah who had suffered a renal failure and was ill for over a year.
'Surprisingly none of the brothers was willing to withdraw the offer' one of their relatives was quoted as saying by Al-Watan newspaper on Saturday.
When it became impossible to decide on the donor as all were equally determined for the noble and loving act the eldest brother Hussein Mansur Al-Sabhan suggested that they hold a draw to choose one of them the relative said.
'All the four were left with no option but to agree to the proposal. Younger brother Mohammed (32) who works as a journalist with the Bidaya channel was all smiles when the draw came in his favor.'
The kidney transplant operation was successfully conducted by doctors Sayid Mohammed Rida and Amira Al-Abbasi at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center last Tuesday.
The surgery was successful and the two brothers will be discharged soon the report said. The donor brother was quoted as saying: 'Our family's happiness will be complete when we see Abdullah enjoying good health.'
