A Chicago hospital is getting worldwide recognition for its organ transplant program.
Patients travel from around the globe to receive life-saving treatment at Northwestern Medicine. One of those patients is Mohamad Alhosani.
"We have the largest liver transplant program in Illinois and one of the largest in the country," said their doctor, Carlos Caidedo, the Liver Transplant Program Director at Northwestern Medicine. "The liver is a fantastic organ, that can regenerate. We can remove up to seventy percent of the liver in somebody healthy and in three months the liver will grow back to almost normal size," said Dr. Caidedo.
