Sandro flies to Mendoza to receive multi-organ transplant

Roberto Sanchez (aka Sandro) “will receive a transplant in the next few hours in Mendoza,” confirmed on Wednesday his press agent Nora Lafón.

The artist has been held in a Buenos Aires hospital for months awaiting for a donor.

At dawn, a donor appeared for Sandro, who had been awaiting a heart / lung transplant.

The singer is suffering from COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) for years and his health deteriorated continuously.

Sandro will be taken from the Argentine Institute of Diagnosis and Treatment (IADT) to Mendoza by an air ambulance and his arrival is scheduled for 11 am.

Once there, he will go to the Italian Hospital, where the medical team led by heart surgeon Claudio Burgos awaits.
