About 29,000 people register for organ donation via the 'Sind' app

Al-Batikhi added that after accessing the service, the user can view the religious ruling related to organ donation, then confirm their phone number, so that their desire to donate appears in the digital family book for all family members.

He explained that the service allows the citizen to register their desire to donate organs without specifying particular organs, pointing out that work is underway in the future to add the possibility of specifying the organs that the person wishes to donate in the event of their death.

Al-Batikhi pointed out that the number of registrants is constantly increasing, in light of the demand for the service.

The General Ifta' Department has approved organ donation after death to save the lives of patients, within religious and medical guidelines, confirming that donation falls within acts of charity, solidarity, and the preservation of life.

Health Minister Ibrahim Al-Baddour confirmed that the availability of the organ donation registration service via the 'Sind' app is followed by the drafting of a comprehensive national protocol to regulate organ donation and transplantation operations, with the participation of medical, legal, and religious sectors.

The protocol aims to regulate the mechanism of organ donation and transplantation, determine the roles of the concerned parties, and ensure the medical, legal, and religious aspects of the process.

The government decided to approve the addition of the organ donation service to the Sind app, with the aim of encouraging the expansion of this noble humanitarian work and facilitating it; considering it to represent the highest values of human and social solidarity.
