Growth of Human Organ Transplant Cases and Transplant Hospitals in Vietnam in 1992-2019

Cao Tien Sy, Nguyen Tien Thanh, Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy

Abstract

From 1992 to December 31, 2019, Vietnam performed 4.689 organ transplants, of which the most were kidney transplants (94.73%), liver transplants (4.2%), and other organs (1%). Currently, the primary source of transplanted organs still comes from living donors at a rate of 93.7%. This study aims to represent statistics on human organ transplantations and promote the development of this field in Vietnam. Increasing the number of organ transplant hospitals from 5 to 19, promulgating the Law on donation, organ collection and donation, body collection of 2006; implementing insurance, honoring humane organ donation and communicating from 2013 to 2019 have directly promoted the increase in both the number of organ donation/transplant from living and brain-dead donors, rather than leading to a reduction in the rate of donor/transplant from a living donor and an increase from a brain-dead donor, as expected.
