Dear Karl Mike Rodaje,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Dec 01, 2023 06:06:06 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Organ Donation and Transplantation Needs in the Philippines.

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved.

As made clear in the interview last November 30, 2023, PhilNOS does not collect data on the number of registered tissue and bone donors including the updated list of transplant facilities. You are advised to coordinate with the appropriate bureaus/agencies to get accurate data, such as the Health Facility and Services Regulatory Bureau, Eye Bank Foundation of the Philippines, and the Bone Bank of the Philippine General Hospital. Similarly, you may coordinate directly with the organ procurement organizations through official websites to get the contact information.

In addition, DOH Administrative Order No. 2010-0019 contains the organizational structure of the Philippine Network for Organ Sharing and Department Personnel Order No. 2022-0127 constitutes the composition of the National Transplant Ethics Committee. Online resources provide information about the laws in the Philippines supporting organ and tissue donation and transplantation.

Thank you
