Govt to create transplant facility in every college, says Nadda

To bridge the gap between demand and availability of human organs for transplantation, the government will work towards creating a transplant facility in every medical college in the country.

“At present, all transplant facilities are available in metropolitan cities and 95 per cent are in private sector. There is a need to increase the facilities in other parts of the country. The Ministry will work to create a transplant facility in every medical college in the country in a phased manner,” Health Minister JP Nadda said after launching the Nationwide Registry for Organ and Tissue Donation at the 6th Indian Organ Donation Day in the city. Nadda said his ministry has decided to impart training in organ and tissue transplantation at all government hospitals.
