The Transplantation of Human Organs (Himachal Pradesh Amendment) Act, 2011
This legislation expands India's legal framework for organ donation to include human tissues and tissue banks, governing their retrieval, storage, and transplantation. It applies to medical practitioners, hospitals, tissue facilities, organ donors, and recipients across participating states and union territories. The law introduces mandatory transplant coordinators, establishes authorization committees to prevent exploitation, permits paired organ swaps between incompatible donor-recipient pairs, and creates a national organ donor registry. By raising penalties for commercial trading and illegal organ trafficking, it aims to prevent exploitation, improve ethical donation practices, and streamline life-saving transplantation procedures for patients nationwide.
