3-year-old child who received a liver transplant from his mother in Antalya regains his health

Metehan Gültekin, living in Antalya, was struggling to hold on to life after being diagnosed with 'biliary atresia' when he was just one month old. For the family fighting desperation, the only hope was an organ donation from his mother, Çağla Gültekin.

Metehan regained his health thanks to the liver tissue transplanted from his mother when he was 1.5 years old. After the successful surgery, the child, who has now turned 3 years old, has returned to his normal life, running and playing like his peers.

Mother Çağla Gültekin, who donated her organ for her son's health, described the situation as 'giving birth to my child for the second time.' The mother stated that the moment she learned of her son's illness, she felt as if the world had collapsed on her and everything went dark.
