Is there a significant black market for organs in Malaysia?
OMG!!! Never thought of. Mr. Google has lots of info on Malaysia.
Illegal kidney transplant dilemma
Recalling her experience, Lee said she used to go for dialysis three times a week, for six hours each session and it was “painful and draining”.
She was on the organ wait list, but was concerned that with the low organ donation rate in Malaysia, it “could take forever”.
However, the Health Ministry is against Malaysians undergoing such procedures as it is illegal in many countries.
It is proposing the Organ and Tissue Transplantation Bill, which will ban organ trading and advertising for such purpose.
It will also ensure transplants are done by qualified personnel and prevent any exploitation or coercion in cases of living donors.
Nigerian agency probes organ harvesting in Malaysia
The Nigerian government is investigating incidences of illegal organ harvesting by syndicates that are allegedly operating in Malaysia as well as several other countries.
Okah-Donli was cited as saying that the profits derived from the organ harvesting business were high.
“You know, there are a lot of people in need of organ transplants. They are ready to buy these organs for any amount because they are desperate to live. So, people buy a lot of organs overseas,” The Punch quoted her today as saying in an interview.
And the articles are numerous...."human organ
