"Dr Polat is the very best, he will sit down and talk about anything we wanted or needed
It’s still too early to give a full review as the procedure hasn’t been done. But the hospital is fantastic. Dr Polat is the very best, he will sit down and talk about anything we wanted or needed. The whole staff is exceptional. More to follow.

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.

Best liver transplant hospitals in the world achieve 90-95% success rate.

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.

Bookimed patients receive access to best rated liver transplant hospitals abroad: leave a request and receive all the information about any country and center you want.

Who is the best liver transplant surgeon?

The success of the surgery depends not only on the country a patient chooses for a liver transplant but a doctor who performs this procedure. Best liver transplant surgeon in the world is Prof. Mohammed Rela. The doctor works in Indian Global Hospitals Group. This liver transplant specialist has performed the biggest number of the procedures - over 4,000. The Professor is the Guinness Book of Records for conducting a liver transplant for a 5-day child who is now a 21 years adult person.

Among other top liver transplant surgeons are:

  • Prof. Johann Pratschke who manages the liver transplant at Charite Center (Germany). The doctor has performed over 2,500 organ transplants together with his team;
  • Dr. Vivek Vij is one of the best liver transplant specialists with 17 years of experience and over 2,500 conducted procedures (India, Fortis Healthcare);
  • Dr. Alper Demirbaş heads one of the largest units for liver transplantation in Turkey - Medical Park Transplantology Center. The doctor has achieved 95% success rate for this procedure.
How to get a liver transplant abroad?
