a plan to revamp the nation's organ transplant system, which has been plagued by problems, including damaged or discarded organs and long wait times.
"There are multiple problems that need to be addressed," said Dr. Stuart Knechtle, a general surgeon at the Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina. “It’s clear that different groups of people by race and also by geographic location are served differently." The plan — outlined by HRSA in a release — would nearly double the amount of funding the government agency receives from the U.S. to $67 million in the fiscal year 2024 to"modernize" the nation's transplant system.
UNOS, a nonprofit organization based in Richmond, Virginia, has been the sole manager of the nation’s organ transplant system, when the federal government awarded the group a contract. The group has essentially operated as a monopoly, overseeing the system that gets donated organs to seriously ill patients.
