发帖数: 41 | 1 Beijing organ reforms offer role model, says WHO adviser
Chinese representatives backed enhanced international collaboration in the
fight against global organ trafficking at a meeting in the Vatican, the head
of China's official organ distribution system told the Global Times on
Wednesday.
Collaboration could start with sharing information and developing a coding
system at the World Health Organization (WHO) to track organ trading, Wang
Haibo, head of the China Organ Transplant Response System, told a conference
on Tuesday.
China could launch an alert system at customs checkpoints so that
authorities will be notified when foreign patients on the organ transplant
waiting list enter China, he said.
The Chinese government is doing its best in the fight against organ
trafficking, including using judicial means to stop and punish violators,
Jose Nunez, an adviser on organ transplants to the WHO, told the Global
Times after attending the meeting at the Holy See.
China's principles on the prevention of transplant tourism, such as no
foreigners being allowed to receive organs from deceased donors, could be
applied in other countries, Nunez said.
China's allocation of organs, which was done by a computerized system to
ensure nobody is privileged, could also be promoted, especially in deprived
regions, he noted.
"The cause of organ transplants has been totally different after 2015,"
Nunez said. "China has made big and great reforms thereafter and that's what
we want to promote, to show that things can be changed."
In 2015, China banned the use of organs from executed prisoners and made
voluntary donation the only legitimate source of transplanted organs.
WHO expects China to share its transparent and ethical model with other
countries, he said. China had set an example of an organ transplant model
with trustworthy government involvement, he said.
In 2011, China criminalized the unauthorized trading of organs, a crime for
which the death penalty can be imposed in severe cases.
From 2007 to 2017, a joint task force from China's top health and public
security authorities arrested about 220 people including 60 medical staff,
for their participation in organ trafficking.
The task force rescued about 100 victims during the same period, according
to data presented by the Chinese delegation at the meeting.
It was the second time China was invited by the Pontifical Academy of
Sciences to a meeting in the Holy See.
Chinese scholars, including former Chinese vice minister of health Huang
Jiefu, are confident such exchanges will enable people in China and the
Vatican to know more about each other before diplomatic relations are
established.
"These exchanged are based on concrete goals with the collaboration of the
government. I think these exchanges will grow in the future at the academic
and scientific level," PAS chancellor Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo said in an
email sent to the Global Times on Wednesday.
"The role of China is becoming more and more important, not only in China
but also in the influence that China can have all over the world, especially
thanks to the One Belt One Road initiative," said Sorondo. | z******9
