澳鼓励器官捐赠 在职捐赠者将获现金补偿
<p>澳大利亚将对器官捐赠者进行现金补偿，以缩短需要器官移植患者的等候时间，同时为捐赠者在术后恢复期提供必要的经济支持。据悉，现金补偿标准将按照澳大利亚全国最低工资水平执行，六周补偿总额约合人民币2万余元，不过只有在职的器官捐赠者才能享受。澳大利亚卫生部长表示，提供现金补偿并不是为了让人们通过捐赠器官谋利，而只是作为他们术后六周恢复期的误工补偿。他说：“我们知道有些人六周不工作的话就没有生活来源。这笔现金补偿能够帮助那些为家人、甚至陌生人奉献最珍贵礼物的人们减轻经济负担。”澳大利亚政府计划在未来两年拨出845万余元用于器官捐赠现金补偿，每位捐赠者将连续六周获得每周3900多元的补偿。去年，澳大利亚共有1080位患者等候肾脏移植，而活体捐赠者只有237位。</p><p><span word="Organ">Organ</span> <span word="donors">donors</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Australia">Australia</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="paid">paid</span> <span word="cash">cash</span> <span word="grants">grants</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="about">about</span> £2,500 <span word="to">to</span> <span word="donate">donate</span> <span word="body">body</span> <span word="parts">parts</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="kidney">kidney</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="liver">liver</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="payments">payments</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="intended">intended</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="pressure">pressure</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="waiting">waiting</span> <span word="lists">lists</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="compensate">compensate</span> <span word="donors">donors</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="having">having</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="work">work</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="payments">payments</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="based">based</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="national">national</span> <span word="minimum">minimum</span> <span word="wage">wage</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="paid">paid</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="donors">donors</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="employed">employed</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="health">health</span> <span word="minister">minister</span>, <span word="Tanya">Tanya</span> <span word="Plibersek">Plibersek</span>, <span word="said">said</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="payment">payment</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="intended">intended</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="allow">allow</span> <span word="donors">donors</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="profit">profit</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="recover">recover</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cost">cost</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="taking">taking</span> <span word="six">six</span> <span word="weeks">weeks</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="recover">recover</span>. <span word="Most">Most</span> <span word="donations">donations</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Australia">Australia</span> <span word="involve">involve</span> <span word="kidneys">kidneys</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="provided">provided</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="members">members</span>.</p>
