One of the creators of China's current organ transplant system has revealed the plans are in place to stop transplanting organs from executed prisoners this coming year.

Huang Jiefu, the architect of China's current transplant system, says transplants will only be carried out among voluntary donors starting on January 1st.

Huang, a former deputy health minister, has made the revelation during an organ procurement seminar in Yunnan's capital, Kunming.

Close to 40 major medical institutions across the country have already stopped using organs from executed prisoners.

The ratio of organ donation in China is far below the global average, with only 6 in every 10-million people willing to give up their organs.
