Speeding organ transplants may curb waste and disparities
A federal panel urges faster action to reduce organ waste and racial disparities in kidney transplants. Nearly 25 percent of donated kidneys went unused last year. aim is 5 percent or less by 2026. The report suggests treating organ failure earlier, expanding oversight, and prioritizing equitable access across communities. The Biden administration will consider recommendations during renegotiation of the transplant system contract. The United Network for Organ Sharing has begun policy updates to reduce ZIP code bias, while Medicare set new standards for donor-collection groups.
