Achievements

• Establishing the largest transplant center in the world with no previous example, despite numerous obstacles, in a country where unrelated living donation and organ trade had been prevailed. Relying only on deceased donors, we transplant more than 500 liver transplants annually in the center. We crossed the world record and transplanted 638 liver transplants in the Center in 2017.
• Establishing a twin charity hospital: the 700-bed Avicenna Transplant Center including a large polyclinic and an 80-bed hemodialysis center, and a nearby 1000-bed hospital to care for patients diagnosed with cancer.
• Pioneer of deceased donor organ donation in Iran
• Founder of deceased donor organ donation in Iran
• Establishment of the most active deceased donor program in the Middle East and Asia
• Founder of Transplant Coordinator Network across Iran
• The most active person fighting against living unrelated renal transplantation and organ selling in Iran
• More than three decades activities to establish deceased donor program in Iran
• Training of more than 50 transplant fellows for Iran and Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation (MESOT) states
• Founder of charity societies for kidney and liver disease in Fars province, southern Iran
• Founder of a charity for cancer in South of Iran
