The Transplantation of Human Organs Act, India's primary organ donation and transplantation legislation, was passed in 1994 and is aimed at regulating the removal, storage, and transplantation of human organs for therapeutic purposes, as well as the prevention of commercial dealings in human organs.
The Authorization Committee (AC) oversees live donor transplantation by assessing each case to guarantee that the living donor is not exploited for monetary gain and to prevent commercial transactions in transplantation.
Living donors are categorized as either a close relative or a stranger.
(i) To donate an organ, a close relative (spouse, children, grandkids, siblings, parents, and grandparents) must obtain approval from the transplant center's doctor.
(ii) To donate his organs, a non-related. donor must obtain approval from a state-established Authorization Committee.
When a near-family living donor is medically incompatible with the receiver, the pair may undergo a swap transplant with another unrelated matched donor/recipient combination with the approval of the ethics committee.
