The National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) has been set up in New Delhi. It has become partially functional. It will result in ensuring increased availability of organs/tissues retrieved from deceased donors and help save lives of many persons suffering from end stage organ failure.
Since health is a State subject, the Government of India will provide support to States under the National Organ Transplant Programme to set up Regional Organ and Tissue Transplant Organizations/State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organizations. It is envisaged that all new AIIMS like institutions including the one at Bhubaneswar would eventually have such a facility.
The Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha here today.
