KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Health Ministry (MOH) strongly condemns and is against any form of organ trafficking or the obtainment of an organ for transplantation via trading, says Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Referring to a report by the United Kingdom-based newspaper The Sun dated Aug 8 titled 'Organs for Sale', which alleged a Malaysian was involved in the unscrupulous act, he said, Malaysia's healthcare system neither condones nor allows such heinous acts to occur.

"In addition, Malaysia is a signatory of The Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism . The declaration states, organs for transplantation should be equitably allocated to suitable recipients without regard to gender, ethnicity, religion, social or financial status," he said in a statement Saturday .

He added that the MOH has an established transplant committee that governs organ donation programme, to protect the donor from complications arising from inadequate or false information on organ donation, and to assure that the activity does not involve any form of coercion or organ trading.
