Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Prof. Dr. Burak Işık of Güven Hospital’s General Organ Transplant Center said Turkey’s post-brain-death donation rate fell to 17.8% in the first nine months of 2026, with 32,000 people awaiting transplants. He noted that a single donor’s organs and tissues can save or improve the lives of more than 50 people. The decline matters because it widens the gap between demand and available organs in a country with a large waiting list. Watch whether donation rates recover in the final quarter and whether authorities adjust public awareness or consent policies.
