According to gulfnews.com, in a revolutionary move, the government of the United Arab Emirates has implemented a comprehensive update to organ transplant laws, officially allowing the use of organs produced from animals. This new law, known as 'On the Donation and Transplantation of Organs and Tissues', is part of the UAE's ongoing efforts to improve the healthcare system and comply with global standards.
In this regard, stringent legal reforms have been enacted, including heavy fines of 2 million dirhams for violations in this area. According to this law, non-human organs are officially defined and can only be used under specific conditions, namely when they are considered the best treatment option for the patient. These changes reflect the UAE's firm commitment to utilizing modern medical technologies such as 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering.
Doctors are required to conduct all necessary tests before any transplant and inform patients of all risks and consequences. Additionally, obtaining written consent from patients or their legal representatives is mandatory. These processes will be overseen by designated committees.
Furthermore, the establishment of a national database to record all non-human organs used in transplants to ensure the safety and efficacy of these organs is another important aspect of these reforms. This database will include biological information, clinical test results, and safety data.
These changes in healthcare laws bring new hope for patients and their families, promising a brighter future in the medical field. For more images and additional information, please refer to the source of the news.
