The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit organization that manages the national organ transplant system in the United States. Established in 1984, UNOS coordinates the allocation of organs from donors to recipients, ensuring that the process is fair and efficient. They maintain a national database that tracks organ donations and transplants, helping to match patients with available organs based on medical need and compatibility. UNOS also plays a vital role in promoting organ donation awareness and education. They work with hospitals, transplant centers, and the public to encourage more people to register as organ donors. By improving the understanding of organ donation, UNOS aims to increase the number of available organs and save more lives.
