Telangana to Adopt Central Act to Regulate Organ Transplantation
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|March 25, 2025
THE Telangana Assembly on Monday adopted a government resolution to adopt Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994 (Central Act No. 42 of 1994).
Adoption of the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994 (Central Act No. 42 of 1994) is aimed at regulating organ transplantation and preventing commercial dealings in human organs and tissues.
While the state government has a similar legislation — Telangana Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1995 (Act No. 24 of 1995) — the Central Act was amended in 2011, regulating the transplantation of tissues of the human body. It now comprehensively addresses various aspects. It has been expanded to include human tissues in addition to organs, and establishment of state and national level bodies and increased penalties for violations.
The adoption of the Central Act will give the state the flexibility to enforce the 2011 amendments.
