The deputy Kenia López Rabadán (PAN) presented two initiatives to reform the General Health Law and the General Law of Electoral Institutions and Proceduresin order that any person who dies is considered potential organ donor and tissues with the exception of those who have expressed their refusal while alive.
He explained that his proposals also establish that all procedures involving organ donations for transplant purposes are considered a priority and have an expeditious resolution.
López Rabadán commented that, at the time of carrying out the process to issue or replace the voting credential, citizens have the option of expressing their will, so that their identification of the National Electoral Institute (INE) has an instinct or legend that accredits him as a donor.

“This possibility for a citizen to go to INEeither to get your credential or to replace it and say that you authorize being a donor, that it be reflected on your electoral card so that the doctors, your family and everyone know that the citizen’s will was to donate, it will save tens of thousands of lives in our country,” he assured.
He explained that there are two types of impact in budgetary terms: one, due to the replacement of credentials; and two, to generate hospital infrastructure with the objective that hospitals have the possibility that once a donor arrives they can fulfill their will and the recipient of the donor can save their life.
The PAN member commented that today, World Organ, Tissue and Transplant Donation Dayit is time to reflect on where regulations are going and how far countries have advanced in this matter.
López Rabadán assured that the initiatives have achieved the agreement of deputies of the Board of Directors and all parliamentary groups in the Chamber of Deputies to promote them.
