Changes Proposed to Law on Organ Disposal Include Citizen Input
The Ministry of Health has adopted the initial wording for the Law on the seizure and disposal of human body property for the purpose of treatment, following a proposal for significant amendments. The revised legislation aims to incorporate greater citizen input regarding the use of organs for medical treatment. Specifically, the proposed changes will grant full-time citizens the right to express their opinion on whether the disposal of organs and tissues for treatment aligns with their understanding of their own death.
This opinion will be formally recorded within the national electronic system for health information, My Term. Crucially, the law also establishes the possibility for citizens to modify their consent at any point in time. This mechanism is intended to ensure the Ministry maintains an accurate reflection of public sentiment concerning organ donation and its application for treatment purposes.
The Ministry’s action represents a move to gain a precise understanding of citizens’ readiness for preparation and their level of awareness and trust within the health sector. The goal is to bolster transparency and build confidence in the organ donation process.
