HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced sweeping reforms to the US organ transplant system, including the decertification of Life Alliance Organ Recovery Agency due to patient safety concerns and repeated violations of federal requirements. This follows reports of organs being harvested from patients mistakenly declared dead. The reforms aim to restore public trust in the organ donation process and address decades of ignored safety issues, impacting over 100,000 individuals on the national transplant waiting list. The Trump administration is prioritizing patient safety, contrasting with previous inaction.
