What do I do if I do not have a related donor?

The law permits you to bring an unrelated donor to your nephrologist for medical assessment as a potential donor. Such a donor, however, will have to appear, accompanied by you, before a specially designated Authorization Committee, comprising of the Law Secretary, Health Secretary, etc, to obtain permission for an unrelated donor transplant. Only after the Authorization Committee has given its approval, can a kidney be removed from such a voluntary unrelated donor and transplanted into your body.

Alternatively, you may choose to register yourself for a cadaver transplant, and await your turn while on dialysis.
