Moscow Department of Health: the actions of doctors who removed the organs of the deceased are legal
Federal law allows posthumous removal of donor organs subject to several conditions, said the official representative of the department.
The doctors of the Moscow hospital, who seized the organs of the deceased woman for transplantation without notifying relatives, acted within the law, the official representative of the Moscow Department of Health Elina Nikolaeva told TASS. "Medical workers acted strictly in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, no one's rights were violated," Nikolaeva said.
According to her, in accordance with federal law, post-mortem removal of donor organs is allowed if several conditions are met. In particular, if the healthcare institution where the patient died was not informed at the time of organ removal that during his lifetime the person or his close relatives objected to the removal of his organs after death. Also, the posthumous removal of donor organs requires the permission of the chief physician of the institution where the patient died, and a forensic medical expert.
"All these conditions in the State Clinical Hospital No. 81 in relation to the patient, who was diagnosed with brain death on December 12 by a consultation of doctors, were met. It should be emphasized that during the entire time the patient was in the hospital, none of the close relatives or her legal representatives filed an application and did not object to posthumous organ donation either orally or in writing," Nikolaeva added.
