卫生部副部长称中国器官捐献考虑纳入刺激机制

中国卫生部副部长黄洁夫22日在广州表示，中国正在创建符合中国国情的器官捐献和移植体系，并摆脱对死刑犯器官捐献的依赖，中国的器官捐献体系将考虑纳入一定的刺激机制，给予一定的人道救助经济补偿。

Guangzhou (CNS) -- China is expected to introduce an incentive mechanism into its organ donation and transplantation system, according to a Ministry of Health (MOH) official at a Thursday meeting in Guangzhou.

The future organ donation system will provide compensation to potential donors in order to raise public awareness, said Huang Jiefu, vice-minister of the MOH.

The future policy incentives may include reduction or exemption of medical expenses for organ donors, and economic compensation will also be provided to their families, Huang added.

Huang said the program will mainly be conducted by the Red Cross of China.
