Standards for organ donations published
Print Edition
China has published its first national guideline on organ donation to raise awareness about the program.
The guideline sets out the country鈥檚 principles and policies, including ethics, standards to judge death and standards on extraction and distribution of organs.
It was made public on Saturday at a meeting of the national alliance of organ procurement organizations held in Guangzhou, capital of south China鈥檚 Guangdong Province.
鈥淲e hope the guideline would help eliminate the public鈥檚 misunderstanding and bias of donating their organs after death, and get their support,鈥 said Huang Jiefu, head of a national human organ donation and transplant committee and chief editor of the guideline.
Despite an acute shortage of organs for transplants, China banned the use of prisoners鈥 organs for the purpose earlier this year, making citizen donation the only legitimate channel.
A voluntary organ donation trial began in 2010 and the practice was promoted across the country in 2013.
Currently, China tops Asia in the number of organ donations. As of August 19, the country had seen 4,737 voluntary organ donations, with 12,748 large organs acquired. There have been 1,590 donations this year.
