Beijing proposes organ transplant hospitals
13 June 2007
Beijing has proposed 13 hospitals for approval to conduct human organ transplants, a month after China's first regulations on transplants went into effect prohibiting the trade in human organs, according to the Jinghua Times (in Chinese). The Beijing Municipal Health Bureau has listed the hospitals and the specific transplant surgery they can carry out on its official website until June 24 to solicit public opinions and submissions. The list includes Beijing Anzhen Hospital for heart and lung transplants, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital for liver, kidney and lung transplants, and the Beijing Union Medical College Hospital for liver and kidney transplants.
