SOUTH China's Guangdong Province yesterday launched a trial to better manage organ donations and make sure patients most in need of a transplant receive one.
It was among the 10 municipalities and provinces that will take part in a pilot program designed to test a new national post-death organ donation system comprising administration, decisions on recipients, enhanced after-surgery visits and subsidies for needy donors, yesterday's Guangzhou Daily reported.
The system, run by the national and provincial Red Cross, would follow international practices for open, fair and impartial organ management and should help reduce the black market for body parts that existed in the face of a severe organ shortage, officials said.
Guangdong has set up a committee to manage the province's organ donations and is building a databank.
