For the third time in a row, the State had bagged the first place in organ transplantation in the country.
The award was presented by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO).
In Tamilnadu under Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme, organ transplations are carrying out both in government and private hospitals.
For this purpose, “TRANSTAN” (transplant authority of tamilnadu), a separate body was set up and it was given autonomy.
This is the India’s first organ transplantation authority.
