Turkey has 30,675 patients awaiting organ transplants, of whom 26,141 need kidneys, the Turkish Kidney Foundation (Türk Böbrek Vakfı) said while staging a rowing event on Istanbul's Golden Horn during Organ Donation Week, held November 3-9. The foundation used the Haliç event to spotlight the shortage of donations, noting that approvals from families of brain-dead donors remain insufficient. The figures underscore the gap between demand for transplants and the supply of donated organs in Turkey.
