For the living-donor transplant pathway we support, you need your own potential living donor. BAO Health does not find or provide donors.
Do you support patients from the Balkans?
Yes. Türkiye and the Balkans are a particular focus. We also support patients and living donors travelling from Asia and Africa.
Can everything be completed remotely?
Initial conversations and some record reviews can start remotely. The clinical team explains which assessments and consultations require an in-person visit.
Do you arrange airport and hospital transfers?
Yes. We arrange airport and hospital transfers and coordinate health-related transport from pre-transplant evaluation through hospital discharge. Confirm your arrival details and care schedule with our team before travelling. Sightseeing and tourist excursions are outside this service.
