Chairman Lee Ming-che of the Organ Donation and Transplantation Registration Center stated that a balance in organ supply and demand is achievable, aiming to maintain kidney transplant waiting times at 2.5 to 3 years, similar to the US. With about 8,500 people currently waiting in Taiwan, he estimates that increasing the donation conversion rate to 60-80% could clear the waiting list in about 6 years. This discussion follows the case of Dr. Chen Yaoli, who was convicted for brokering organ transplants in China.
