Tolga operationFour-year-old Tolga was in desperate need of a heart transplant. Demirel stepped in; universities and the military staff also got involved and Tolga was saved.
Action was first taken when a father from Isparta took his son Tolga to Demirel's house on Güniz street. Tolga had heart disease as well as a lung infection. Süleyman Demirel interrupted his breakfast and called Başkent Hospital immediately.
