Hospitals approved for organ transplant

A list of 10 hospitals officially sanctioned to carry out organ transplant surgery has been posted on the Beijing health bureau's website.

Tuesday's online announcement said other hospitals and clinics were not allowed to carry out such surgery without express permission from the Ministry of Health.

According to the bureau, the list will remain on the site until May 18, during which time the public can comment on institutions that should be added or omitted.
