Ten years after the initiative was presented, the Congress of the Republic passed the Law for the Disposal and Transplantation of Organs, Fabric and Human Cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 135 votes in favor, the plenary of Congress approved on Tuesday, February 27, the Law for the Disposal and Transplantation of Organs, Tissues and Human Cells that establishes a regulatory framework for transplants in Guatemala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2014, the Legislative Directorate has received the bill that promotes the culture of donation of human organs, tissues and cells among the population – and 10 years later it materialized in a law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Decree 5-2024 which also regulates the process of donation and extraction and allows Guatemala to receive organs, tissues and cells for transplantation from abroad; however, agreements must be signed prior to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Act also provides for the establishment of the National Transplant Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RELATED LIGHTING LECURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This law considers that it is a donor to anyone who voluntarily offers its organs and not for profit. The legislation also provides for an increase in sanctions for illegal removal and trafficking in organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law prohibits minors from deciding on the donation of their organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marta Azmitia, of the Donar\u00e9 Foundation, said it’s a leap to the medicine of the first world. It gives Guatemala an initiative we have been working on since 2008. I want to thank the X Legislature because it dared to believe in us and believe in what we drafted and what we did in a group of people interested in making Guatemala a pro-life country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: “The most relevant thing about this proposal is that there will be a single list of recipients made up of all patients who need an organ. It is a coded list in such a way that it avoids organ traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
