dc.description.abstract | Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the present status regarding brain death, its consequences, and transplant activities in Islamic countries. Materials and Methods: A thorough literature survey was conducted about transplant activities in Islamic countries, and the Turkish Ministry of Health Web site was analyzed. Expert opinions about the issue were obtained. Results: The present status of brain death and transplant activities has shown a heterogeneous appearance in the Islamic world. Our literature survey clearly revealed that transplant is still in its early stages in many Islamic states. The legislative framework, infrastructure, and related education needs radical improvements in these states. Conclusion: The concept of death has to be redefined and a consensus should be reached about brain death. The pioneer countries like Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. which already have considerable experience in transplant, should share their expertise and know ledge with the countries that need guidance. | en_US |
