Welcome to
Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority (KPMTRA)
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority (KPMTRA) has been entrusted the regulatory functions assigned in Statutory Instrument (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Act No. XI of 2014), called the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority Act, 2014 and enforcement of the Rules made thereunder namely The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority Rules, 2017.
It gives me great pleasure to see the prolonged efforts and activities of KP-MTRA come to fruition. The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is committed to facilitating legal transplantation services while ensuring high standards, transparency, and accountability.
Organ transplantation brings hope to patients with end-stage organ failure and reflects the spirit of compassion in our society. Promoting voluntary and deceased organ donation is a noble cause, and I urge the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to support it.
Muhammad Sohail Khan Afridi, Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
The advancement of organ transplantation services in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reflects a vital shift toward a more responsive and ethical healthcare system. Under the regulatory framework of KP-MTRA, the province has taken concrete steps to ensure that transplants are performed safely, transparently, and in accordance with national laws.
The Health Department is proud to support KP-MTRA in building a system that protects the rights of donors and recipients alike, promotes voluntary organ donation, and raises awareness among the public. Together, we are working to save lives, restore hope, and uphold the highest standards of medical care.
Mr. Khaleeq Ur Rehman , Minister Health, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
To combat illegal organ transplantation, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa established the KP Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority (KP-MTRA) through legislation in 2014, followed by supporting rules in 2017. This regulatory framework ensures that all transplantation practices are ethical, safe, and transparent.
KP-MTRA actively oversees transplant activities, registers and monitors authorized facilities, and promotes voluntary organ donation. The Health Department remains fully committed to protecting the rights of both donors and recipients and to strengthening ethical transplantation services across the province.
Mr. Shahid Ullah Khan (Secretary Health, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
Organ transplantation offers a second chance at life for patients with end-stage organ failure. To ensure these procedures are safe, ethical, and legally regulated, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa established the KP Medical Transplantation Regulatory Authority (KP-MTRA).
KP-MTRA registers authorized institutions, monitors transplant activities, and promotes both voluntary and deceased organ donation. Through the effective implementation of the KP-MTRA Act and Rules, we are working to prevent illegal practices and uphold the rights of donors and recipients across the province.
