In
India ,
certain amendments to the Human Organ Transplant Act 1994 are required to
enhance cadaver organ retrieval and transplantation to bridge the huge
demand–supply gap. The pool of donors, including increasing the supply of
organs by widening the definition of ‘near relatives’ by allowing organ swaps
among needy families, as well as, simplifying cadaver transplant procedures. The
paired matching should be permitted i.e. if patient A’s donor does not match A,
and likewise for patient B, then donor switch should be allowed, if it results
in a match. Swaps or exchanges between families unable to fulfill the need of
their family member in need of a transplant.
