Government Targets Organ Procurement Group | Washington DC News

The U.S. government is cracking down on organ transplant organizations, targeting Network for Hope after accusing it of violating rules by preparing for organ recovery from patients who may not have met donation criteria — a move tied to a past incident where a patient survived despite being declared dead. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior called the group a “bad apple,” but Network for Hope denies wrongdoing and vows to appeal, claiming they’ve improved procedures. The patient’s sister even publicly thanked federal officials. With over 100,000 Americans waiting for transplants — especially kidneys — and deceased donations declining for the first time in a decade, this shake-up comes at a critical moment for the system.
