LAHORE: Turkey’s transplant surgeons during their visit to Lahore on Sunday said that Turkey had a 90 per cent success rate of organ transplant which was more than China, India and other countries and that was why patients from all over the world preferred Turkey for medical treatment.

Cardiovascular surgeon Professor Dr Ersin Erek said that patients with limited knowledge of sources of treatment in Pakistan could utilise the treatment facilities available in Turkey and other countries.
