    The Philippines said Friday it is setting up a nationwide organ donor register in a bid to stop the practice of its poor selling their kidneys to make ends meet.Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral said she hoped the project would help provide donor organs for the estimated 9,000 Filipinos who suffer kidney failure every year."We seek not only to improve an important service for many patients... but also to assure that the illegal traffic of organs that has victimised many of our countrymen for many years until 2008 will not be repeated," she added.
