The Ministry of Justice registered a regulation on November 21 outlining the procedure for issuing medical conclusions for recipients and donors for the transplantation of human organs and tissues.
The document defines the necessary medical examinations for transplantation, the consent procedure, and the mechanism for authorizing the operation.
According to the regulation, the recipient and the living donor will undergo a full medical examination within 3 months after providing notarized consent.
Permission for transplantation will be granted by the medical council of 13 state medical institutions listed in the register according to Resolution No. 333 of 2024.
The medical council will issue a conclusion on the necessity of the operation for the recipient and on the donor's eligibility for transplantation. If the procedure poses a potential risk of serious harm to health, the conclusion will be denied.
Additionally, the procedures for pre-transplantation preparation, post-operative rehabilitation, and monitoring were approved. After receiving the medical conclusion, the recipient and donor must apply to a notary within 10 days.
On the eve of the operation, the doctor will obtain written and video-recorded consent once again, confirming their awareness of the risks and the voluntary nature of the procedure.
After the transplantation, the recipient and the donor will undergo rehabilitation at the medical institution for up to 21 days, depending on their health condition.
