Living Organ Donation for Transplantation in Bangladesh: Reality and Problems

Md Sanwar Siraj

Summary: The living organ transplantation policy and practice in Bangladesh are family-oriented, limiting organ donation to relatives. This study investigates the reasons behind the insufficient availability of organs for transplantation in Bangladesh. The research reveals that family members are encouraged to donate organs, viewing it as a moral obligation. However, barriers such as limited medical resources, lack of post-operative care for donors, religious misconceptions, and public unawareness hinder successful living organ transplantation.

The Human Organ Transplantation Act in Bangladesh: Towards Proper Family-Based Ethics and Law

Md Sanwar Siraj

Summary: The Human Organ Transplantation Act of Bangladesh allows organ donations from both living and brain-dead donors. The Act was amended in 2018 to expand the pool of living donors and prioritize family members in receiving organs after death. The introduction of incentives for organ donation raises ethical dilemmas, especially concerning the financial compensation for distant relative donors and the allocation of organs based on a living donor incentive system.
