"US Government Plans Overhaul of Troubled Organ Transplant System"

The Biden administration plans to overhaul the United States' organ transplant system, which has long been plagued by long wait times and a lack of transparency. The system has been run by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) for nearly four decades, but the administration is now putting the network out to bid to foster competition. The administration also wants to end the current practice of UNOS board members sitting on the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network's board, which is viewed as a conflict of interest. The overhaul also includes the rollout of a website that will provide detailed, de-identified data on transplant wait lists, donors, and recipients.
