The Union Health Ministry has issued guidelines permitting the ethical use of leftover, de-identified, and anonymous medical samples generated from diagnostic or surgical procedures for commercial purposes. These samples, ranging from organs to body fluids, are typically discarded after clinical use but can serve valuable research and development purposes. The guidelines stress stringent anonymization protocols to protect patient identities and emphasize data security measures. Companies interested in using these samples must ensure affordability and accessibility of resulting products.
