Organ Donation
As of March 20， China had registered more than 66，000 voluntary organ donors， 6，624 of whom have already donated their organs， saving about 18，000 lives， People’s Daily reported on April 1.
The country began a voluntary organ donation trial in 2010 and promoted the practice across the country in 2013. Now， it tops Asia for the number of organ donations per year， said Wang Pei’an， Vice Minister of the National Health and Family Planning Commission （NHFPC）.
Statistics from the NHFPC showed that 2，766 volunteers donated organs last year， with 7，785 large organs acquired. The number of organ donations exceeded 2013 and 2014 combined.
