- The Union Health Ministry has issued the directive to eliminate commercial dealing in organs, especially those involving foreign citizens.
- All cases of organ transplants, whether from a living or deceased donor, will be allocated a unique National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO)-ID for both the donor and the recipient.
- It must be generated by the hospital from the NOTTO website (www. notto.mohfw.gov.in).
- NOTTO-ID is mandatory for considering allocation of organs in case of deceased donor transplant.
- This ID in case of a living donor transplant, shall also be generated at the earliest, maximum within 48 hours after the transplant surgery is done.
