“55-year-old Kenan Atılgan, who feels extremely healthy and underwent a liver transplant surgery three months ago, says: "I had a 3-way liver transplant surgery on April 25, 2023. Three months have passed, and I feel extremely healthy. We have had trust in Malatya from the beginning. I am so glad I came here. We are fortunate to have met Sezai hodja. Besides being an excellent surgeon, the best part about our doctor is his compassion. Sometimes, I think he never sleeps because whenever we call at night, he responds immediately.”

“I am 28 years old, and I donated to Ali Güner. The process started like this: My father needed a liver transplant. Since my liver volume was smaller than my father's, the transplant didn't take place. When our doctor suggested putting me on the paired liver exchange pool, I agreed, but I wasn't very hopeful. Our blood type is 0+, which means we can donate to anyone but can only receive from our own blood group, so I didn't have high hopes. I also didn't know that there were 3-way and 4-way liver paired exchanges. They called us during the Ramadan holiday and told us that such a transplant was going to happen. They asked if I was determined. I was determined, and I came here and met Ali. We became like family friends. I donated an organ to Ali, Ali's sibling donated to someone else, and that person's niece donated an organ to my father. We are all doing very well now. I am experiencing the happiness of saving two lives. When I compare my condition before the surgery to how I am now, there is no difference; I am perfectly healthy.”

“I am 32 years old, and I am a native of Mersin. I have been battling this disease for 30 years. Malatya was recommended to us, and we came and met Sezai hodja. We were put on the cadaver list. However, no cadaver became available for us for 5-6 years. Later, they suggested a liver paired exchange surgery. We agreed to it. I brought my sibling, but my sibling's donation wasn't a match for me, so my sibling became a donor to another patient, and I received Esra's donor. I am very thankful to Esra. If it weren't for her, maybe this paired liver exchange wouldn't have happened. Right now, my health is very good. In the past, I couldn't even walk.”

Patient Mehmet Coşkun:

“I required a liver transplant, and Abdulmucit Saadet provided me with a donor through a paired liver exchange surgery. I am grateful to Dr. Sezai Yılmaz, who was exceptionally helpful in this matter. Our caregiver, Mrs. Gülendam, also offered substantial assistance. May God bless our doctors. We are deeply thankful to them.”
