Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about organ and tissue donation and transplantation.

What is organ transplantation?
+
Organ transplantation is the transfer of organs (or parts of them), as well as tissues, from one location to another within the same body or to another person.
Who needs an organ transplant?
+
Transplantation may be needed by anyone — an adult or a child. Organ failure can result from various diseases, and transplantation is often the only way to save a life.
How do I register my consent for posthumous donation?
+
You can visit your local clinic or use the eGov.kz portal. After submitting your request and confirming your identity, your decision will be recorded in the National Register. You will receive a confirmation, and you can change your decision at any time.
What type of consent system does Kazakhstan use?
+
Kazakhstan uses a presumed consent system. Even if a citizen gave consent during their lifetime, organs can only be retrieved with permission from the family.
What is the position of major religions on transplantation?
+
All major world religions allow donation and transplantation when there is no commercial gain and the intent is to save lives. For example, the Russian Orthodox Church, Islam, and Catholicism support transplantation when done for humane reasons.
Is organ sales allowed in Kazakhstan?
+
No. Organ sales are prohibited in Kazakhstan and are a criminal offense under the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Public Health". Donation is only permitted on a voluntary and non-commercial basis.
