The National Transplant Procurement Management Unit (NTPMU) is responsible for managing the nation’s organs and tissues that had been donated by cadaveric donors. Based at the National Transplant Resource Centre, this unit does not interact with patients. NTPMU
is assisted by the various Tissue and Organ Procurement Teams (TOP Teams) who will be responsible for any donors. NTPMU is also in charge of the logistical aspects of the transplantation procurement. This includes transporting the organ(s) and tissue(s) from the donor to the
recipient. NTPMU usually coordinates with the Malaysia Airline System (MAS), Malaysian Royal Air Force (TUDM), Royal Police (PDRM), airports security, Tissue and Organ Procurement teams, Organ Transplantation Team and other related agencies if a transfer is required. In addition,
NTPMU also manages the database regarding donor registration and organ donation, as well as transplantation activities in Malaysia.
The NTPM application is a web application used for management of donor and recipient information by Tissue and Organ Procurement Team (TOP team), Regional Transplant Procurement Unit (RTPU) and National Transplant Procurement management Unit (NTPMU).
