About the clinic
Kidney transplant at Memorial Antalya Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, is a specialized surgical procedure for patients with end-stage renal disease. This JCI-accredited facility was the first private hospital in Turkey licensed by the Ministry of Health for organ transplants. The hospital group serves as an international reference center, training doctors from Europe and the United States in transplant methods.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The hospital offers both laparoscopic and robotic surgical options for kidney transplants. The Memorial Health Group performed the first robotic kidney transplant to a recipient in Turkey using the Da Vinci XI system. Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions, which helps reduce pain and speeds up healing. Patients can often return to their normal lives within 1 to 2 weeks after a closed surgery.
Donor Options and Success Rates
Patients have access to both living and cadaveric donor options. In Turkey, around 75% to 80% of transplants use living donors, which often helps patients avoid long waiting lists. Clinical data shows no statistical difference in success between living and cadaveric transplants when performed in experienced centers. The transplant process follows a multidisciplinary model involving laboratory work, imaging, and several medical specialties.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-operative care is vital for long-term health. The first year after the transplant is the most critical period for monitoring organ rejection and infection. Patients must avoid heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks following the surgery. Travel is usually permitted starting from the 12th week after the procedure. Most patients successfully return to their previous work and daily routines.
Services for International Patients
Memorial Antalya Hospital provides several features to help international visitors. The facility includes a 5-star guest house for patient comfort during their stay. Patients receive free airport transfers and access to interpreter services to help with communication. These services support a safe and comfortable environment for those traveling from abroad for medical care.

It's never nice to need medical help when you are having vacation, but when you do - it's probably the best place to come to get help. I've came almost at midnight and almost immediately they were helping me without long bureaucracy.
Doctors and nurses here really want to help you. Even though most personnel do not speak English, they are trying to use translation apps for communication.
The biggest difference compared with the previous hospital (in Belek) which I've visited before that evening, where they took a lot of money and didn't really help.

2 stara because the hospital itself is lovely clean and I had a great surgeon. However the nurses are extremely rude NONE speak English they r not interested in reading your google translate and are a very bad reflection on this wonderful hospital. I stayed 6 nights and can say I only had 1 nurse in that entire tike that showed empathy and care regardless of not speaking English.

I went to this clinic with kidney stone issues in 2024, saw a urologist. I was then sent to do an ultrasound as part of series of tests.
The ultrasound technician didn’t event spend 2 minutes with me, did his job quickly and left as quickly as he came in. He clearly couldn’t care less.
His ultrasound results missed the stone, so I was left with mystery and a resulting wrong diagnosis.
I had to go to a different clinic, where I was handled with much more patience, the technician clearly cared about their job and was able to identify the problems, and helped to accurately diagnose the issue, unlike the technician at Memorial.
It’s disappointing to receive this level of care at a private clinic.
To the Memorial Hastanesi social media stuff: you can see my name, feel free to look through patient records to identify who what and when.

Terrible experience. I visited memorial in June of this year for dental treatment. The dentist Dr Nezihi Bayīk, told me that two implants had failed and had to be removed and replaced. He did the procedure which left me with lasting nerve damage. I believe that implant surgery was not his profession and he should not have undertaken this work. I have since visited another dentist and the 3d scan proved the damage. Because of this I cannot have another implant fitted due to the proximity of the nerve. This has not only caused me to change dentist but I have had to make two further visits incurring extra costs. The nerve damage has caused numbness which persists to this day. Avoid at all cost.
