Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan answered Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP Ahmad Magad's query related to the Human Organ Transplant Act (HOTA), and Jurong GRC MP Halimah Yacob's question on reasons for the rejection of some of the living donor organ transplant applications.
He justified the deliberation over considering living donors since there has been innumerable successful organ transplants that involved only deceased donors.
