Our citizen named Osman Başpınar, 26 years old, was operated on at our Nazilli State Hospital due to brain hemorrhage resulting from a head trauma due to a motorcycle accident he had in Nazilli 8 days ago. Despite all the interventions, it was decided by our relevant branch physicians that brain death occurred on 20.09.2023. As a result of the meetings held with Osman Başpınar's family under the organ transplantation coordinatorship of Nazilli State Hospital, the family approved organ donation.
After the family approved organ donation, our Ministry of Health was informed and as a result of the planning of the relevant units, with the desire to give hope to our patients whose hearts are waiting for transplantation at Akdeniz University, their kidneys at Pamukkale University and their livers at Istanbul Acıbadem Hospital, after the joint operation of the teams from the relevant hospitals, their hearts were transferred to Aydın via our 112 ambulance. He was brought to Çıldır Airport to be sent to Antalya Akdeniz University Hospital with the plane allocated by our Turkish Land Forces, the kidneys were sent to Pamukkale University Hospital by land, and the liver was sent to Istanbul Acıbadem Hospital by Turkish Airlines from Izmir.
Our Aydın Provincial Health Director Dr. Eser ŞENKUL wished God's mercy to Osman Başpınar, who will bring hope to 4 people by donating his organs, and expressed patience and condolences to his grieving family. Our Provincial Health Director expressed his gratitude to the Başpınar family for their sensitivity and exemplary behavior and stated that with our grieving family's approval of organ donation, they have a new hope of life for patients waiting for organ transplantation.
