COMMENTARY     

Edria Murray
Staff Editor
16th May 2005 		In response to prakash modi:

In Turkey, approximatelt 100 kidney transplants are performed each year, a rate of 1.54 transplants per capita. European countries have a per capita transplant rate of between 2.58 per million in Poland to 47.75 per million people in Austria. Cyprus has the highest per capita rate with almost 60 transplants per million people.



Despite the number of transplants performed, shortage of kidneys for transplantation is still a global problem with most patients who eventually received a transplant having waited up to three years.
