I had a live liver transplant in Taiwan and set it all up via email and a few phone calls.
This is the web site:
www.clchen.org.tw    

My daughter was my donor. At that hospital donors have to be blood relations.
The surgery was excellent. However I had great difficulties due to cultural differences with the aftercare. It might be easier for him since you live in Asia.

I hope he has stopped drinking. If not he may not be able to get a transplant.

Good luck.
