TUMSAO:

university supporters foundation has had activities in the field of introduction of donors such as introduction of liver transplantation part, can you explain more?

First liver transplantation part in Tehran, was built in Imam Hospital Complex in 2001. Coordination was in behalf  of me and I could do it hard, in first years, we could only have 1-2 surgeries and in 2011, we had 25 surgeries per year & that year, I journeyed abroad for a sabbatical live and in 2019, we could have 1070 surgeries.

If I explain more about liver transplantation surgeries, we have good results, even is comparable with Europe and USA that its statistics is close to USA.

For passing acute conditions after surgery, we pay heavy costs and we could achieve 78%  in long-term results. Fortunately, according to existing condition, transplantation amount didn't decrease, nor their quality.

And the more important point is that we no vreject any ill for his conditions in the year 1398 in approximately 35 patients with acute failure of the liver which statistics are due to be at the center have been . In the UK, who hit 200 the transplant liver in the year to the Statistics   Transplantation for acute liver in about 20 the number of years is .

Must be stressed that the cost of transplantation of the liver in the world, so high has to be , for example, in America and Europe at around 300 to 400 thousand dollars is that the patient and or insurance to pay for them . In about 30 years before patients transplanted liver from Iran should be to treatment to leave the country to go and the list is expected to remain and or the life out of her , you took that in addition to this fee, 300 thousand dollars in costs linked to the need to undertake the کردن   .

In terms by the 1000 bond liver, the cost of which 300 thousand dollars, how much the cost of currency to be produced and the means we have at about 300 million dollars to the cost of this action are to be dealt with . In Iran, the cost of which to the action taken will be in about 10 percent of the cost is . Fortunately, the Ministry of Health all costs of operation of the links to the originally agreed to pay to the other such that from the beginning of the year 1398 the Hotelling hospital to the side of the insurance payment is not the Ministry of Health of project development, health and provide funding to the action transplanted liver from scratch to end under the guise of the Ministry of Health by were . With this work the field of development of transplant liver in the country to be and will be that we are as a country leading in the region known to be in so that the division of the Health International on the Mediterranean, Iran is almost at the top of the transplant ( heart, liver, kidneys and ..) it is .

The only country that with us in transplant liver competition is a country Turkey is and the rest of the country by a neighbor for action linked to Iran's referral to the .

With regard to the licensing of certain Ministry of Health, link to nationals alienated from the living relatives in the program of work to be done there . With regard to the advantages of competition that in our country there is the cost of which even the country of India that lower the cost of treatment to be the work of the increase is .

We in the tourism treatment in transplanted liver may grow to the attention of our activities are in the field of performing data we have . Officials hospital Imam with countries neighboring in this respect contracts signed and have the patients and with the living relatives to the hospital referred them to the action to be taken .

Terms transplant liver in the past, how was it?

18 Years ago to operate the link , not the room we had and not the department, in a room so that we and the room the patient is Khvabandym or from professors and colleagues no longer part of the request that we have a room to give us the day . But at the moment the bond we have with 16 flat- bed and 4- bed -Fi C. Yu . It is still a lack of love because these facilities to meet the needs of the patients we do not       .

In the hospital Imam Khomeini section parallel magnitude is a function of the pancreas and duct Sfrayy in there, do you take that to dare to say at the Hospital of the University of no great it is . Of course to get to the situation 18 years during the take . Group medical, nursing, support, clinics, laboratories , blood and all parts of the hospital for the transplant to properly carry out the work very well with the teams link with .

In the year 1398 more than 190 transplant liver and more than 450 action- surgical big Liver and duct Sfrayy pancreas, the results are acceptable and the success of high- performing by which all indicate the capacity of the high ability of professors , members of the faculty, nurses and Fellowship of the hospital Is         .

Perhaps bad not to say that in the four years that the responsibility of the President of the University and to the loved and to be naturally much less in about a day and half the week in Part I of the act of linking the rise find out and with associated reduction in personnel, Statistics decrease find Did not . This suggests that the capacity to do such a thing exists there and get things right for one person is not and without the presence of a servant and or any one else in this system works as well as before will go . In fact, we were able to set an example of a partnership and experience to succeed in a work team grew in spite of our   .

Any person with any state money that has to be in the list of links on the take . The only restriction we have to accept patients on the list awaiting transplant liver, this is to make up after the transplant will be a list of drugs used to the preparation of the .

I hope this activity with regard to an extension that requires that we continue to find it because we meet a lot of referrals not to , especially in surgical larger than the transplanted liver . In transplants of the liver as well as the limitations of the physical cause can be of little practice, surgery, do we

Certainly not the people that post from me to be responsible here will sit better me want to be and what it is in their hospital Imam Khomeini and System of University of Tehran is developing will be .

Mr. doctor patients to what extent it can to physicians and surgeons in the country in this field trust them?

At the moment more than 15 years is that in Iran need to send the patient to get out of the country for transplant livers removed by the . The last of those trips therapy is a process very very hard to be . The cost of consumer attention, stay patient and colleagues in the country expeditions and keep track of the problems many as there had been .

At the moment these problems are not , and even in the mind of someone not imagine that all of them resolved by the .

I think that that duty we have to the Department of Health and those who are providing services, health care and treatment you pay for treatments is that we have to do to have .

Seven years ago a disease of the transplanted liver was an Iranian living in Germany with her to the trust having to doctors German and expects high on the list of links which country would you give that to Iran come and transplant them . This indicates that this is a service that for all the compatriots living in Iran and outside of Iran do would be to serve right and to trust it.
