UNOS policies
UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) manages the system for matching organ donors with patients in need. Their policies ensure that organ allocation is fair, ethical, and based on medical urgency, compatibility, and time spent waiting. They prioritize patients who are in most critical condition and ensure organs are distributed equitably across regions. The goal is to maximize the success of transplants and save as many lives as possible, while respecting donor rights and maintaining public trust through transparency and standardized procedures.
