Taiwan revokes doctor's license over illegal organ transplant referrals - Focus Taiwan

Taiwan has revoked a physician's medical license for involvement in illegal organ transplant referrals, likely connected to ongoing international concerns about transplant tourism and unethical organ sourcing. While this case falls outside U.S. jurisdiction, it underscores the global scrutiny of organ trafficking networks that occasionally intersect with domestic transplant programs. OPO professionals should be aware of international regulatory actions as they inform broader advocacy around ethical procurement standards.
