中國器官捐獻移植數量將創歷史新高

Chinese organ donation has been on the rise after the country banned the use of prisoners's organs for transplant starting Jan 1 this year, a top medical expert said Sunday.

週日，一位頂級醫學專家表示，由於今年1月1日起中國開始禁止從死囚身上移植器官，自願器官捐贈的人數明顯提升。

As of Nov 9, China has recorded 5,384 voluntary organ donors, who donated 14,721 various organs, said Huang Jiefu, head of a national human organ donation and transplant committee.

中國器官捐獻與移植委員會主任黃潔夫表示，截至11月9號，2015年中國公民器官捐獻者累計達到了5384例，共捐獻各類器官14721個。

China is expected to top the world in terms of organ donation in several years, said Huang at a forum in the central city of Changsha.

在長沙的一次論壇上，黃潔夫表示，未來幾年，中國很有可能成爲世界第一捐獻大國。

"As long as the donation system is transparent, most of citizens will be willing to join the program," he said.

他說：“只要捐獻體系公開透明，大多數公民都願意參與。”

The shortage of qualified transplant doctors is a major bottleneck. There are only 169 hospitals across the country eligible for organ transplant, with some 100 doctors able to do the operation, said Huang.

黃潔夫認爲，移植人才短缺是制約我國移植事業發展的瓶頸。目前，全國只有169家醫院具備器官移植資質，能做器官移植手術的主刀醫生僅百餘人。

Huang called for speedy training of medical talent and expanding the number of hospitals eligible for organ transplant to 300 and the number of doctors to 400 to meet the public demand.

因此，黃潔夫呼籲，要加快醫療人員的培養，並且要將具備器官移植資質醫院的數目提升至300家，主刀醫生的數量提升至400人。這樣才能滿足公衆捐獻器官的需求。

China began a voluntary organ donation trial in 2010 and promoted the practice across the country in 2013. Now, it tops Asia in the number of organ donations.

中國是在2010年開啓的自願捐獻器官試點工作，並在2013年推向全國。現如今，捐獻器官的數量已經位居全亞洲之首。
