Project for organ donors unveiled

Guangzhou - South China's Guangdong province officials on Tuesday formally launched a pilot program to promote organ donations, along with nine other provinces and cities involved in this nationwide initiative.

The pilot regions are the cities of Tianjin, Shanghai, Xiamen, Nanjing and Wuhan and the provinces of Guangdong, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Shandong and Jiangxi.
