Shanghai is leading the country in organ donorship.
More than 200 organs have been successfully transplanted in the city since a national program to encourage and regulate voluntary donations was launched in 2013, the Shanghai branch of the Red Cross Society of China told an organ donation forum yesterday.
The country launched a voluntary trial program in 2010 and began to promote the practice across the country in 2013. So far, about 7,000 organs have been donated nationwide.
The average donation rate in Shanghai is five in every 1 million people, 2.5 times the national level. The quality of the organs in Shanghai has been exceptional as well ¡ª 92.39 percent of livers and kidneys donated have been successfully transplanted.
Organ donorship is steadily rising in China, but there is still a huge shortage, which is at least partly attributable to the traditional notion that bodies must be kept intact after death.
China stopped using organs harvested from executed prisoners last year, exacerbating the shortage.
Each year, about 1.5 million people wait for transplants in China, but only about 10,000 receive them.
