Mumbai : The state cabinet approved amendments to the State Act on human organ transplant on the lines of Central Act here on Tuesday.  This step has been taken to ensure better implementation of the Act, officials present at the meeting said. The government also approved to reduce the level of commercialisation of organ transplant. Amending the Act would benefit those unaware of its provisions, as also those who are mentally challenged, the officials said. The State government also decided to increase retirement age for medical officers under medical and health services group ‘A’ category in the state to 60 from 58 years.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the state cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis here. The decision will be implemented with retrospective effect from May 31, an official said after the cabinet meeting.
