A call for solidarity had been launched by Arthur’s relatives on the eve of his hasty departure for France last September. The 20-year-old young man, suffering from acute myocarditis, had to undergo emergency surgery at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris.
An online kitty and a collection of works of art were then organized by the relatives of the young patient to financially help Arthur’s family to stay at his bedside during the period of his transplant and the months of convalescence that were to follow. .
Six months following a successful heart transplant, Arthur is back on the island, announces his very moved relatives. In good health, the young man arrived this weekend in Reunion where his medical follow-up will now take place.
