The Diyarbakır Provincial Health Directorate has launched large-scale awareness activities across the city to increase public consciousness regarding organ donation as part of the November 3-9 Organ Donation Week.

Information stands were set up in high-traffic areas such as hospitals, Family Health Centers, Healthy Life Centers, shopping malls, and public squares. Healthcare professionals answered citizens' questions regarding how the donation process works and who can become a donor. In cooperation with the Provincial Mufti's Office, information sessions on the subject were also held in mosques.

Stating that the city's healthcare infrastructure also serves patients coming from neighboring provinces, Asiltürk called on citizens to be sensitive about organ donation.
