Centre Orders Probe on Surge in organ transplants Involving foreign nationals

The Centre has initiated a probe to investigate the significant increase in organ transplants involving foreign nationals in India, amid concerns over potential commercial dealings. Recent modifications to the National Organ Transplantation Guidelines by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare include the removal of an age cap for recipients, elimination of registration fees, and plans for a unified national policy. This move aims to make organ transplantation more accessible and equitable across different states, despite the challenge posed by varying state laws regarding health.
