The National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) has issued a warning after it found private websites and social media posts promoting and offering organs for trade.
The NOTTO has written to Principal Secretary (health), States and Union Territories across India seeking strict monitoring and urging that steps be put in place to prevent organ trafficking.
In its communication this week, the organisation said that certain websites and social media posts are promoting and offering organ trading which is in violation of the provisions of Transplantation of Human Organ and Tissue Act (THOTA), 1994 and Rules.
