With the growing concern over more and more foreign patients traveling to the UK to pay for organs donated by dead British donors, there is a plan to ban all private organ transplants in the UK. Because of the scarcity of organ donors there was a need to assure the public that donated organs will be fairly allocated within the National Health System. The banning of the private transplants will help ensure that organ donations will go to those who need them the most and not only to those who had money to pay for them.

A health watch dog group in the United Kingdom has issued a health warning to UK citizens against a superbug that is resistant to antibiotics. The strain of superbug so far has been contracted by patients after having had surgery abroad.

According to the doctors, there is an increase in the number of patients that suffer from the superbug enterobacteriaceae.
