Summary
- 217 of 804 registered hospitals did not report organ transplant data.
- State governments will initiate action against non-compliant hospitals.

As of March 10, 2026, the Ministry of State for Health informed the Rajya Sabha that 217 out of 804 hospitals registered for organ transplantation failed to report their data on the National Registry Portal during 2025.
