The presenter launched an awareness campaign about organ donation after being saved through surgery
Faustao appeared this Thursday 28th in a video on social media in which he spoke to the public about an important issue. He continues to recover from the heart transplant he underwent last month.
After the procedure saved his life, the star has now launched a campaign to promote organ donation. The recording was published on the official account of the Ministry of Health and reproduced by his son João Guilherme.
“I continue here my fight for rehabilitation with good prospects, but I am here once again to thank the commitment of so many people in this field to make Brazil the first organ donor in the world,” Faustão said in the footage.
“It is fundamental to the problems we have, we need solidarity, Brazil beats for one heart.” Always remember that each person can give life to eight more people. “There are eight organs that can be donated,” emphasized the moderator.

The donor
Fábio Cordeiro, who died of a stroke at the age of 35, was the one who gave his heart. He learned about it through the press and was moved when he spoke to the deceased boy’s family on television. “I will never forget you,” said the entertainer.
