A Year Removed: Oversight of Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act Implementation | Sept. 11

Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chair Morgan Griffith (R-VA) announced a Subcommittee hearing titled “A Year Removed: Oversight of Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act Implementation.”

“Patients awaiting an organ transplant and their families anxiously hope and pray for a match. At the same time, individuals coping with the loss of a loved one deserve to know that a donated organ is going to save a life. Unfortunately, for years the organ transplant system has been hampered by inefficiencies, mismanagement, and risks to patient safety,” said Chairs Rodgers and Griffith. “Last year, Congress passed a bipartisan bill led by Reps. Bucshon and Kelly to improve the system and give hope to patients in need. This hearing will provide an opportunity to hear from experts and stakeholders about how the law is being implemented and what challenges remain.”

Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations hearing titled “A Year Removed: Oversight of Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act Implementation.”
