This document summarizes the results of a survey of 40 religious officials in Istanbul on their views of organ donation and transplantation. The survey found that the officials had varying levels of knowledge on the topics, with most knowledge coming from television, radio, or publications from the Directorate of Religious Affairs. While 80% said they would not consider organ donation, the majority believed it was acceptable according to Islam. Officials proposed that religious leaders should educate the public and set an example to increase interest in donation. The conclusion calls for more cooperation between health, legal, and religious groups to address religious concerns and increase donations.

遺或鰻遺晦雨皆聴或鰻 In conclusion, when the medical, legal and religious aspect of organ donation and transplantation in Turkey is considered a great task falls on the health care personnel, lawyers and religious officials and at the same time these three professionals groups should work in an integrated manner. The religious concerns of the public on organ donation and transplantation can only be accommodated by the religious organizations and religious officials to take part in these campaigns. In order for them to set an example for the public they need firstly to make a donation and in order to provide education for the public they need to be knowledgeable and educated in this subject through in-house training. In order for all these to be performed in a more regular manner, health care personnel need to go to the mosques and muftu's offices more frequently. The only way in achieving the desired goal in transplantation is to increase the number of donations.
Muchas Gracias!!!
