About the clinic
Liver transplantation at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital in Turkey may cost around $55,000 for a living donor package. This comprehensive package includes care for both the donor and recipient. The clinic's main advantage is its JCI accreditation and status as Turkey's first Smart-and-Green hospital.
The living donor liver transplantation package covers the surgery for both patient and donor. The donor stays in the hospital for 11 nights. The recipient stays for 23 nights. Both patients receive standard single room accommodation.
The package includes a wide range of pre-transplant investigations. These include portal CT, venography, and MRI scans. A cardiology consultation is also part of the initial workup. The final surgery suitability is determined after a detailed evaluation at the center.

Payment terms require an advance of $5,000 before hospitalization. Half of the inpatient costs are paid before arrival via bank transfer. The clinic offers the package in both USD and Euro currencies. Alternative package prices are around €60,000 and €65,000.
Some costs are not included in the base package. Extra medications for conditions like hepatitis cost additional fees. Further interventional procedures or tests also incur separate charges. Complications and prolonged hospitalization fall outside the package scope.
The donor must be a relative, as Turkish law prohibits the clinic from assisting in finding one. All arrangements for appointments and transfers are handled by the clinic. To explore this treatment option, you can request a consultation via Bookimed.

FAQ
Where are the best liver transplant hospitals located?
Bookimed works with the best liver transplant centers in the world, among them are centers located in Turkey, India, Israel, Germany, etc. All of them perform liver transplant surgery according to the strict international treatment protocols. It means that a procedure complies with world quality standards.
The cost of liver transplant varies in different countries. But still, patients think that higher price means higher quality and success rate. It is a misleading criterion in choosing a hospital for a liver transplant.
Best country for liver transplant in the world is India. The procedure is 2-3 times cheaper compared with the leading European hospitals, but the success rate is even higher. The low price is explained by the following reasons:
- Indian hospitals do not buy foreign drugs, they produce own ones. Their quality is the same as American medications.
- General low pricing in India.
- The country is considered to be the best place to have a liver transplant because the local doctors have a vast experience in performing the procedure. For instance, some Indian liver transplant surgeons have conducted over 4,000 liver transplants, German ones - only up to 500.
