In 2025, 217 of 804 registered hospitals failed to report organ transplant data, prompting state action, says Health Minister.

Out of 804 registered hospitals performing organ transplantation, 217 hospitals failed to report data on the National Registry Portal in 2025 and action will be initiated against them by the respective State governments, Minister of State for Health Prataprao Jadhav told the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday (March 10, 2026).

The registration of hospitals for performing organ transplantation is carried out by the appropriate authority of the States and UTs concerned where the hospital is located, Mr. Jadhav said in a written reply to a query.

"Against 804 registered hospitals performing organ transplantation, 217 hospitals failed to report data on the National Registry Portal during the year 2025.

"As per the provisions of the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act [THOTA], 1994 and the Rules framed thereunder, regulatory action against such hospitals is to be taken by the state governments concerned," Mr. Jadhav said.

The National Organ and Tissue Transplant Registry Portal has been functional since 2015 and is accessible to authorised users, including hospitals and organisations, through the website of the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation.
