In the near future, implementation of heart transplantation can be started in Azerbaijan
Academician Ahliman Amiraslanov, chairman of the Health Committee of the Milli Majlis, said at the 8th International Congress "Baku Heart Days".
He said that this issue was reflected in the law "On Donor and Organ Transplantation" adopted 2 years ago: "The law allows heart transplants to be performed in Azerbaijan along with heart operations. We have enough specialists in Azerbaijan who can perform heart transplants. Currently, work is being done in this direction. The Ministry of Health and other relevant institutions are conducting discussions in this regard. A heart transplant may be carried out in Azerbaijan in the near future."
