They further detailed the facilities that will be provided in the newly opened center, stating, "The new center provides all the services that patients would need in their transplant journey, with the Birmingham-based hospital being the most active transplant center in Europe."

"The hospital carries out all the major organ transplants – heart, lung, liver, and kidney - and the new center will enable the hospital to continue to provide life-changing care to their patients," they concluded.

In the shared snapshots, the Duchess was seen meeting the hospital’s staff and dedicated doctors who have been working at the hospital for years.
