UNOS faces overhaul amid organ transplant network troubles.

The US government plans to overhaul the organ transplant system, including breaking up the monopoly power of the nonprofit organization that has run it for the past 37 years. The proposal aims to create a competitive environment in the history of the transplant system, install a strong board of directors independent of UNOS, create a public dashboard for the voluminous data the system generates, and bring more transparency to the sometimes opaque process of how patients and organs are matched. The Biden administration has committed $67 million in its proposed fiscal 2024 budget for what Johnson is calling a “modernization” of the transplant network.
