Kidney bazaar in Lahore


The patients travel to Pakistan to buy organs from the poor.Pakistan where trade in human organ is legal,turning into “kidney bazaar”.The European and Saudi Patients pay about 8500 US dollars for a new kidney while the donors get only 300-1000 dollars and often get no medical care after the surgery.
There is no consent in some cases,only in May month there has been nine arrests,four of them doctors for abducting people,drugging them and stealing their kidney for transplantation.
