There are more than 35,000 kidney transplant operations that have been done in public hospitals in 29 cities, provinces and municipalities in China, and the number of kidney transplant operations is at least 5,000 every year all over the country. So many transplantation operations are owing to the support of the Chinese government. The Supreme Demotic Court, Supreme Demotic Law-officer, Police, Judiciary, Department of Health and Civil Administration have enacted a law together to make sure that organ donations are supported by the government, This is unique in the world. Medical equipment and the nursing system in China are not perfect compared with developed countries, but in the area of organ transplantation, the mode of the operation is the same all over the world, and the level of medical technology in China is the same as that of a developed country. Now, there are about 1000 patients with organ decline who accept organ transplantation in China every year. Although brain death is allowed by law in Japan, the problem of lacking organ donors will hopefull be solved in the future. It is more expensive to receive an organ transplant abroad. But why is the charge so high? While, most donors are free, and there is no exchange of money, the large part of the high expense can be attributed to the depreciation of Medical equipment, the cost of medicine and doctor's fees. |
