Thirty-three liver patients have been brought back to health at a university in eastern Türkiye by applying a computer software system that matches donors for liver transplants developed by two Turkish economists, Tayfun Sonmez and Utku Unver, from Boston College in the US. 

Sezai Yilmaz, the head of Malatya Inonu University’s Turgut Ozal Medical Center Liver Transplant Institute, told Anadolu that organ donation from deceased donors often falls short, so patients who want to have a liver transplant must find a live donor.
