實施《天津市人體器官捐獻條例》推動會21日在天津醫科大學舉行。中國紅十字會常務副會長趙白鴿說，今年要實現器官捐獻信息的全國聯網，唯有這樣，才能保證器官捐獻的科學、公開、透明。
Tianjin (CNS) -- China's first local regulation designed to increase organ donations through "standardization and better supervision" will come into force this March in Tianjin, according to Zhao Baige, executive vice-president of the Red Cross Society of China, on Thursday.
Under the regulation, those who are willing to donate their organs after death can submit a written application and register at the city's Red Cross branch, as well as its district and county affiliates. The registration can be modified or revoked at any time.
To encourage donations, the donor's immediate family will be given priority if they require a transplant. Civil affairs authorities will also exempt donors from basic funeral expenses.
In addition, the Red Cross branch in Tianjin said will set up a special fund to assist donors with financial difficulties.
Commissioned by the Ministry of Health, the Red Cross launched a trial organ donation system in 19 selected mainland regions, including Tianjin, in 2010.
All of China will be covered by the system by the end of this year, and a monitoring mechanism is expected to be established to improve donation work, said Zhao.
