If the organs are used to save the life of a patient, the right to life can be paid. The elements involved in the illegal transplantation of human organs do not deserve any concession. A strict law has been made. We will do the capacity building for the employees of the Punjab Human Organ Transplantation Authority.“
It has also been recommended to send the government a Civil Award for the people who donate their organs to save other people’s lives. “Punjab Human Organ Transplantation Authority Organ is doing donation registration”, the minister added.
