Özet
The Middle East has a diverse ethnicity and religious background, and Islam is the main religion. There are contradictory views among Islamic scholars and lawmakers on the legitimacy of organ donation from deceased donors. There are common features affecting organ transplantation in Middle Eastern countries that include inadequate preventive medicine, uneven health infrastructure, poor awareness within the medical community and lay public regarding the importance of organ donation and transplantation, and poor government support for organ transplantation. In addition, there is a lack of team spirit among physicians dealing with transplantation, lack of planning for organ procurement and transplant centers, and lack of effective health insurance. Living liver donors are the main sources of the organ donation for transplantation. Turkey and Iran are the two countries that have performed a large number of liver transplants institutionally. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
