- Communication in Your Language
Turkey offers high-quality healthcare with experienced medical teams. If you speak English, communication is easy. If not, our translators will support you at every step, ensuring language is never a barrier. - Extensive Experience
Turkey is one of the leading countries in the world for living donor kidney transplantation. Our team has performed more than 2,000 transplants and continues to provide long-term care for these patients. - Easy Access to Our Team
You can always reach our coordinators for assistance or questions. Translators are available whenever needed. We work together like a family to support you throughout your transplant journey. - Clear Pricing and Insurance Options
We offer a fixed package price—typically around €20,000—which includes all standard care and covers any additional hospital stay if required. There are no surprise bills, even if you need an extra day in the ICU. We also provide various health insurance options to ensure financial protection during your stay in Turkey. - Affordable, High-Quality Care
Our care meets international standards at a reasonable cost. This includes your surgery, medical tests, and follow-up visits after the transplant. - Advanced Immunology Laboratory Testing
Our top-ranked laboratory performs detailed immunologic tests to ensure your safety, even if you are considered a high-risk patient. - More Donor Options Under Turkish Law
Turkish regulations allow living donor kidney transplants from both close and distant relatives—from first- to fourth-degree family members, such as parents, siblings, cousins, nephews, and uncles. Transplants from friends or non-biological relatives are also possible with ethics committee approval. This broad eligibility increases your chances of finding a suitable donor. - Solutions for Incompatible Pairs
If your donor is not a match, we offer ABO-incompatible transplantation and paired exchange programs. We also collaborate with international paired exchange partners to help you find the best possible donor match. - Advanced Surgical Techniques
Our surgeons are highly experienced in modern methods, including laparoscopic and robotic kidney transplant surgery. We also train other physicians in these advanced techniques. - Ongoing Support After Transplant
Our post-transplant follow-up program provides continuous care with quick responses and translator support. Remote follow-up through telemedicine allows you to meet with our specialists regularly, no matter where you live. - Affordable Medications
Post-transplant medications are significantly more affordable in Turkey compared to many other countries. - Fast and Efficient Process
Pre-transplant tests are completed within 2 to 3 days, allowing you to proceed quickly to surgery. Most patients are ready to return home within 7 to 9 days, marking the beginning of a more independent and healthier life. - Easy Travel to Istanbul
