UNOS CEO Urges Congressional Action on Lifesaving Reforms

UNOS CEO Maureen McBride sends letter to Congress urging action on reforms to the organ donation and transplantation system. The proposed changes could save thousands of lives each year.

This news matters because it highlights the urgent need for reforms in the organ donation and transplantation system. The proposed changes could lead to more lives being saved through increased efficiency, reduced organ non-use, and a higher number of available organs for transplant. The impact of these reforms could prevent an estimated 4,000 deaths each year, making a significant difference for patients on the waitlist.
