Guidelines for the transportation of live human organs
- The Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has issued a set of guidelines for the transportation of live human organs.
- While transporting the organs by air the box containing the organ should be screened without opening it
- Staff carrying/accompanying the organ box should be given priority in deboarding
Note
- The Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994, allows harvesting of organs from living donors or brain-dead patients with the consent of family members
