Kerala High Court Urges State to Implement Organ Donation Recommendations

The Kerala High Court urged the State government to implement an advisory committee’s recommendations to improve organ donation and transplantation, including creating a <b>digital platform for voluntary organ donations</b>. A Division Bench of Chief Justice Soumen Sen and Justice Syam Kumar VM issued the direction while disposing of a petition filed by Advaith M, which raised concerns about access to suitable donors. The Court said the State had a duty to act on the recommendations in light of Supreme Court directions in a case concerning organ transplantation. Those directions called for uniform national organ allocation criteria, digital swap transplantation guidelines and safeguards against exploitation of living donors.
