Spain's first face transplant used tissue from a donor who chose assisted dying, restoring vital functions to recipient Carme.
In 2025, Spain performed the world’s first face transplant using tissue from a donor who had requested assisted dying, according to Vall d’Hebron Hospital in Barcelona.
The recipient, Carme, regained critical facial functions after severe damage from an insect bite infection.
The complex surgery involved around 100 medical professionals and required precise matching of donor and recipient.
Spain, a global leader in organ donation, conducted 6,300 transplants in 2024, including 426 assisted deaths.
The procedure marks a milestone in transplant medicine and may influence future donation policies.
