We've been preparing for such operations ever since 2003.

After the scalp transplant in 2003, a face transplant is technically practical.

When all of the conditions are right, we can carry out facial transplants at once. While we already have five or six candidates who might be the first to have such a kind of operation, we still need time to study their conditions.

Although many people want to have facial transplants, not all of them are suitable to have the operation. That is why we are still looking for the first patient.

Our vessel and facility are strained beyond capacity.

Exports and imports will be the main growth drivers next year.
