Monthly payments shown are through our partner banks in Iraq, including Murabaha options. They are estimates, not offers — the bank decides.

What the doctor will need from you

So there are no surprises. This is the usual list for this treatment.

Before you travel

Things to gather at home. Photographs of documents are fine — they do not need to be originals.

  • The complete file of the illness

    For kidney: dialysis records and kidney function. For liver: the reports that led to the diagnosis. For bone marrow: the haematology file. A transplant decision is made on the whole history, not a summary of it.

  • The donor: who they are, and any tests already doneIf you have it

    In Türkiye, living-donor transplants are for relatives, and an unrelated donor goes before an ethics committee. Blood group for kidney and liver; HLA typing for bone marrow if already done. Telling us early saves weeks.

  • Documents proving the family relation to the donorIf you have it

    Required by Turkish transplant law before a living-donor operation can be scheduled. Start gathering them early — civil records take time at home, not here.

  • A list of every medicine you take

    Blood thinners, diabetes medicine and some supplements change how the operation is planned, and a few have to be paused beforehand.

After you arrive in Türkiye

The hospital does these. They are included in your package and usually take one morning.

  • Full recipient work-up

    Days, not hours: blood, heart, lungs, infection screening, and the transplant team’s own assessment. Nobody is listed for a transplant on the strength of paperwork alone.

  • The donor’s own work-up and committee approval

    The donor is a patient too. They are tested as thoroughly as you, and the hospital’s committee must approve the donation before a date is set.

  • Blood tests

    A blood count, clotting profile, blood sugar, and screening for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Standard before any operation, and usually done the morning you arrive.

  • Heart trace (ECG)

    Routine for anyone over forty or with a heart history, and quick to do.

  • Anaesthesia assessment

    The anaesthetist meets you before the operation to check your heart, chest and medicines, and to agree the plan with the surgeon.

What the doctor will ask you

Worth thinking about before the consultation. Clear answers here save a day.

  • When was the organ failure or blood disease diagnosed, and what caused it?
  • For kidney: are you on dialysis, and since when?
  • Who is the donor, and how are they related to you?
  • Has the donor had any tests yet?
  • Have you ever received blood transfusions?
  • Any previous transplant or major surgery?
  • What infections have you had in the last year?

You do not have to do this alone

Every patient is different. Once the doctor has read your file they may ask for one or two more things before confirming your plan — that is normal, and it is a sign your case is being looked at properly rather than waved through. If it happens, we tell you exactly what is needed and why, and you will see it added to this list.

If you cannot get a test at home, tell us. Most of them can be done in Türkiye instead, and we will arrange it.
