All Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents 21 years old and above*, and are not mentally disordered, are included under HOTA. Those who choose to remain under HOTA will have a chance to help others, in addition to a higher priority in receiving a deceased donor organ if they need such a transplant in the future.
Should you for any reason decide against donating your organs upon death, you can opt out by completing the form below in full and send it back to the National Organ Transplant Unit (NOTU). Using the same form, you are also able to select from the list organ/s which you do not wish to donate upon death.
To opt out, use the HOTA Opt-out Form (181KB).
Please send the completed form to the following address:
National Organ Transplant Unit
c/o Singapore General Hospital
Singapore 169608
For more information, please call the organ donor registry at 63214390.
*From 1 November 2009, HOTA will cover all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents 21 years old and above, and who are not mentally disordered, unless they have opted out. The upper age limit of 60 has been removed.
