Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are specialized entities responsible for coordinating the recovery and transplantation of organs from donors. They work closely with hospitals, medical professionals, and families to identify potential organ donors and ensure that the donation process is handled ethically and efficiently. OPOs also maintain a registry of available organs and match them with patients in need of transplants. In the United States, OPOs operate under federal regulations and are essential for increasing the number of organs available for transplantation. They provide education about organ donation, support families during the donation process, and collaborate with transplant centers to facilitate successful surgeries.
