More than 1 million people registered at the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) to donate their organs in 2020, according to an annual report released by the RCSC this week. The record-high number is equal to the total quantity of people who registered in the past eight years, the report said.
The China Organ Donation Administrative Center (CODAC), a public institution under the RCSC that gets a central government subsidy, has had over 1.7 million people nationwide registering to be voluntary donors over the years since it started its organ donation work around 2012, said an official with the center surnamed Chen.

BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) There has been a rise in the number of people willing to donate their organs after death, with the donation rate on the Chinese mainland doubling from 2015 to 2019, a report has found.
The number of donors increased to 4.16 per million population (PMP) in 2019 from 2.01 PMP in 2015, said the 2019 report on China organ donation development released Friday by the China Organ Transplantation Development Foundation.
According to the report, the deceased donations on the Chinese mainland reached 5,818 cases in 2019 from 2,766 in 2015.
Volunteers became the lone source of transplants in China after organ trading was outlawed in 2011 and the use of organs of executed prisoners banned in 2015.
