India to roll out organ swap registry, SoPs to boost transplants
India’s first national framework for organ swaps aims to widen transplant access by matching incompatible donor-recipient pairs across hospitals, replacing fragmented manual exchanges with a national registry, automated matching and faster approvals
India has introduced standard operating procedures (SoPs) for organ swaps in an effort to increase transplant access amid a critical shortage of donor organs. This framework enables donor-recipient pairs who are unable to receive a transplant due to blood group or tissue mismatch to exchange donors with others, through a centralized national registry, according to government officials and reviewed documentation. Priyanka Sharma, a journalist at Mint, covered the development.
