Prime
Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has signed a decision to establish a national center
in charge of coordinating the donation and transplants of tissues and human
organs, the Vietnam News Agency reported.
The center, to be under the authority of the
Health Ministry, will be based in Hanoi.
The center will be charged with receiving
information about the donation of tissues and human organs, managing the list
of donors and recipients, and storing and transporting tissues and human
organs.
The center also will coordinate the donation
and transplant of tissues and human organs between tissue banks and health
centers across the country.
Unofficial statistics show dozens of thousands
of patients in Vietnam are in need of organ transplants.
The only source of organs available in the
country comes from dead people, and the number of patients who receive organ
transplants is very limited. In 2010, only four organ transplant surgeries were
conducted among more than 1,000 dead patients at the Viet Duc Hospital.
