Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a federal law allowing the transplantation of human organs and tissues not only in state but also in municipal hospitals.
The amendments remove loopholes in the legislation, as there were no municipal hospitals in Russia when the law was first adopted in 1992. Current municipal hospitals used to be part of the state system of health institutions.

According to RIA Novosti, around 5,000 people in Russia need organ or tissue transplants.
