AUSTRALIA INVESTIGATES ORGAN TRAFFICKING


SYDNEY, Australia - – The Australian Federal Police (AFP) are investigating their first case of alleged organ trafficking in the country as donor shortages fuel the illegal trade in body parts on Thursday.
An elderly Sydney woman with kidney problems is allegedly suspected to have trafficked a younger woman from the Philippines with the intention of harvesting an organ, The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Thursday.
  • The deal, which was allegedly made without the younger woman’s full consent, was discovered during interviews at a Sydney hospital before the procedure, the newspaper reported.
  • A police spokesman told the newspaper that this is the first organ trafficking case investigated by the Australian Federal Police,”
  • Police searched a residential premises in New South Wales in relation to suspected organ trafficking on March 24 and no arrests were made on that day, the newspaper said.
The investigation is being conducted by members of the Human Trafficking Team. Transplant doctors have raised concerns over the effectiveness of a $150 million plan to boost organ donations. Figures released by the organ donor register show transplants have fallen in some states and territories despite the plan.
Kidney Health Australia director Dr Tim Matthew says such a case is unlikely to go undetected.
