The Verkhovna Rada has adopted in the second reading bill No. 9558, which prohibits the removal of organs for transplantation from deceased military personnel and individuals who lost their lives due to armed aggression against Ukraine. A total of 248 deputies voted in favor.

This was reported by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak.

The bill aims to enhance, develop, and harmonize legislation in the field of transplantation and directly provide medical assistance through transplantation.

As the initiators of the project explain, there is already a ban in Ukraine on the removal of organs from deceased donors who died as a result of combat activities, but this is limited to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. However, during the full-scale invasion, it was proposed to expand this ban. This applies to military personnel who died while performing their official duties as well as to other individuals who perished due to armed aggression against Ukraine.

Additionally, the law prohibits transplantation from individuals who died as a result of coercive measures taken by law enforcement, security, and other agencies.

Among other things, the bill includes:

introducing the status of urgency for transplantation, ensuring the availability of organs for patients in need of urgent transplants;
implementing the "domino" principle in transplantation, allowing for complex operations, such as organ transplants from one patient to another in a single procedure;
establishing a National Transplantation Committee under the Ministry of Health to review cases of adverse reactions during transplantation;
granting minors the right to be donors of hematopoietic stem cells for their parents;
specifying the conditions for the automatic matching of donor-recipient pairs in the Unified State Information System for Organ and Tissue Transplantation.

Background. Earlier, Mind reported that the Rada extended the deadline for voluntary return to service after the SVC. The previous deadline expired on January 1.
