Financial and Practical Details
Additional medication for conditions like hepatitis may be required. These are not included in the main package price. Patients must also arrange for a suitable living donor from their relatives. Turkish law prevents the clinic from assisting in finding a donor. An advance payment is required to begin the process and secure hospitalization.
The standard hospital stay is clearly defined. Donors typically spend one day in the ICU followed by ten days in a ward. Recipients usually stay two days in the ICU followed by twenty-one days in a ward. Patients are advised to plan for at least one week in Istanbul for the initial consultation and preparation.

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.
