Disapproving families contribute to longer wait for transplants, says Dzulkefly

KUALA LUMPUR: Objections from the next-of-kin of deceased organ donors are among the reasons behind the long waiting list for those who need organ transplants in Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

The Health Minister said there were more than 10,000 kidney patients on the waiting list for transplants as of July 31 this year.
