This consultation meeting took place last November 27-29, 2024, at Summit Hotel Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila in line with efforts of the Department of Health (DOH), through PODTP-PhilNOS to enhance the system and achieve national self-sufficiency in organ donation and transplantation while addressing organ trafficking.
The Philippine Organ Donation and Transplantation Program (PODTP) and the Philippine Network for Organ Sharing (PhilNOS), established under DOH Administrative Order No. 124, s. 2002, and later updated by AOs 2010-0018 and 2010-0019, are responsible for overseeing the organ and tissue donation and transplantation system in the Philippines. Their key responsibilities include improving system efficiency, striving for national self-sufficiency, and preventing organ trafficking.
