Latifa Patel, a trainee paediatrician functioning in the North West, raised the situation at the British Health-related Association conference in Harrogate.
She said it was very likely that an organ donor could have been found if the guidelines in Britain had permitted donation from infants under two months of age.
“We do not like to believe about younger infants obtaining ill or dying but it occurs each day.
“And tiny babies require small organs. Making it possible for babies to have their organs donated would give one more youthful infant a possibility.”
She said mothers and fathers whose infants have died have requested their organs be used but have to be turned down.
“It is a non-contentious problem, but it will consider time, effort and a good deal of perform to update the guidelines,” Dr Patel explained.
