VietNamNet Bridge – The Government yesterday, Nov 10, approved a National Regulating Centre for Human Organ Transplants to be located in Ha Noi.

In addition to the removal and donation processes, the centre's responsibilities include human organ and tissue regulation among banks of tissues, hospitals and health clinics nationwide.

The Ministry of Health will be in charge of overseeing the centre.

The Law on removal, donation and transplantation of human tissues and organs as well as cadaver recovery stipulates that the centre establish a list of patients who need tissues or organ transplants, manage that list and regulate the removal of tissues and organs. The centre will also receive people who want to donate their organs and tissues and issue cards for donors.
