Organ donation and transplantation in Turkey and Greece

Overview

In Turkey, two successful kidney transplants involving cadaveric donors were documented. In Erzurum, a 60-year-old patient received a kidney from a donor in Giresun after 11 years of dialysis. Separately, an 11-year-old in Acıbadem Kent Hospital underwent a second kidney transplant following three years of hemodialysis.

In Thessaloniki, Greece, the Georgios Papanikolaou General Hospital completed an organ donation procedure involving a 61-year-old donor. The procedure, coordinated by the Hellenic Organ Donation Organization, resulted in the harvesting of kidneys and corneas for transfer to specialized clinics and the Cornea Bank.
