Organ Transplantation… More Than Treatment, A New Beginning of Hope

13 Feb

Organ transplantation is one of the most remarkable achievements of modern medicine, offering renewed hope to thousands of patients. In Türkiye, the journey of organ transplantation began over half a century ago under the leadership of Professor Dr. Mehmet Haberal. Today, it has become a lifeline for patients living with chronic diseases, enabling them to regain their health and begin a new chapter in life.

Among these patients is 21-month-old Gökçe Hüma Toklu, who started her new journey on Tuesday, February 10, at Başkent University Hospital in Ankara. She received a liver transplant from her father, giving her a second chance at life.

Likewise, 3-year-old Ayşe Aymir Mermer began her new life on Wednesday, February 11, following a successful kidney transplant from her mother.

In another case, 11-month-old Balamir Karademir regained his health after undergoing a liver transplant from his mother on January 20 and continues to receive routine follow-up care at the hospital.

Today, Türkiye is among the leading countries worldwide in organ transplantation, attracting patients from around the globe. Among them is Ghazal from Jordan, who found in Türkiye a new chance at life through advanced medical care.

Faces filled with hope, eyes shining with life…
Children and young patients have returned to their lives thanks to the expertise of Professor Dr. Mehmet Haberal and his dedicated medical team. Each of them is a hero in their journey toward recovery and a living testament to the life-saving importance of organ transplantation.

At the Organ Transplant Center of Başkent University Hospital in Ankara, these powerful stories come to life reflecting the true value of organ donation, where hope begins and new lives are made possible.

Veteran journalist Uğur Dündar praised these achievements, expressing his deep appreciation:

“I stand in respect and admiration for Professor Haberal and his invaluable contributions.”

It is important to remember that thousands of patients are still waiting for a chance at life. For them, time is critical. What they need is one simple act of humanity… organ donation.
