Cyprus: Dead doctor’s organs give new life to four this Christmas

The family of a 43-year-old doctor who died on Thursday has donated his organs for transplant, giving hope to four suffering fellow human beings this Christmas.
Child neurologist Stavros Hadjiloizou who died from a heart attack was buried in Nicosia yesterday.
The doctor’s kidneys were donated to two Cypriot patients, while his liver was flown to Greece, to be transplanted to a Greek man. Hadjiloizou’s lungs were sent to Israel.
The 43-year-old returned to Cyprus around three years ago after completing his training in Greece and the United States.
He did his basic studies at the University of Ioannina, before moving to the US to do his specialisation.
Hadjiloizou specialised in pediatrics, child neurology and neurophysiology in New York, Tufts New England Medical Centre and the Harvard Medical School respectively.
He worked as a professor at the epilepsy unit of the Boston Children’s Hospital and the Harvard Medical School.
In 2007 he founded the Cyprus Institute of Child neurology with Dr. Paola Nicolaides.
He was a member of Doctors of the World and also founded the Cyprus Child Development Foundation, which treats children with multiple disabilities and neurological problems.
