• Approximately 85% of the yearly 16,000+ organ transplants performed in India come from living, unrelated, or related donors.

• The Union Health Ministry's guidelines: A maximum of eight weeks have been granted to hospital and state permission committees to make decisions regarding live-linked organ transplants.

• Transplant Timelines:

1. Applications must be processed in ten days, and any inaccuracies in documentation must be corrected in seven days

2. After receiving all documentation, interviews must be scheduled within seven business days to communicate the committee's conclusion.

3. Within 24 hours of the last meeting, the committee's final judgment must be posted on the hospital's website, and the tehsildar's documentation must be sent within 14 days after the application's submission.

• The aim is to prevent endless waiting for donors and recipients.

• Thanks to these deadlines, the organ transplant decision-making process will go quite quickly.
