Dr. Haberal graduated from Ankara University Medical School (Turkey) in 1967 and received the title of General Surgeon Specialist in 1971. Additional training was obtained at the Shriners Burns Institute in Galveston and at the University of Colorado in Denver, working with Dr. Tom Starzl. He performed the first living related kidney transplant in Turkey that same year. By 1980, he had established the Turkish Organ Transplantation and Burn Foundation and went on to develop hemodialysis centers throughout Turkey, now performing about one-third of all of the dialyses id the country. In 1982, he was promoted to Professor of Surgery and established the journal Dialysis, Transplantation and Burns. He organized the first Turkish Transplantation Society meeting in 1983 and was a founder of the Mediterranean Burns Club in 1984. That same year, he established the Middle East Dialysis and Organ Transplantation Foundation, which facilitated organ-sharing and procurement throughout the Middle East. Subsequently he built his own hospital for the care of burns and transplantation, supported by the Haberal Education Foundation, and has since built several hospitals for the care of patients with burn injury and end-stage organ failure throughout Turkey. He has performed the first successful cadaveric liver transplant in Turkey, the first pediatric segmental liver transplant in Turkey, the first adult segmental liver transplantation in the world, and the first living kidney/liver transplantation from a living related-donor in the world.
In 1993, he established Ba?kent University which includes colleges of science and letters, law, economics and administrative sciences, engineering, medicine, health sciences, communications, design and architecture, fine arts, and dentistry, five vocational schools, and an English language preparatory school. This was followed by establishment of a research center, a psycho-social and rehabilitation center, additional dialysis centers, two additional hospitals, and another scientific society (Middle East Burn and Fire Disaster Society). He has been an author or co-author of 1200 Turkish and English scientific publications and six books. He has performed more than 1600 kidney and 150 liver transplants. Dr. Haberal has received 16 national and international awards in the field of transplantation, including the Millennium Medal of the Transplantation Society. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and was made an Honorary Fellow of the American Surgical Association in 2003.
His unselfish devotion to his patients, medical science, and educational processes has led to improvement of the welfare of citizens in his own country and throughout the Middle East.
