The government has removed the upper age limit of 65 years for eligibility for registration to receive deceased donor organs. Now, a person of any age can register for receiving deceased donor organs.
The government has also decided to do away with the domicile requirement of the state for registration of patients requiring organ transplantation from deceased donors.
The government is working with the aim of 'One Nation, One Policy' for organ donation and transplantation in consultation with the states.
The minister said the government has enacted the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act 1994 and notified the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Rules 2014.
The Act and Rules are applicable in all Union territories and have been adopted by all states under article 252 (1) except the Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, Meghalaya and Tripura.
