They urged the Federal Government to regulate the donation of organs to boost organ donation, transplantation, reduce mortality and curb medical tourism.

He further noted, “The structure has to be put in place for us to organise deceased donation. If we overcome the problem of funding and organ sourcing, infrastructural challenges will be surmounted.”

“Nigerians need to know that they can have their transplant done in Nigeria, following all the ethics of transplantation and making sure both the recipients and donors know exactly what they are going to do and taking all the necessary precautions. “We want the government to intervene in funding; we need legislative backing, and we need to have laws in place to ensure that transplantation is done in a safe environment following all the ethics and rules and making sure we follow best practices. So, there will be a need for the national assembly to give us some right laws in place in Nigeria. We have the National Health Act 2014, and we think some gaps can be improved.
