UNOS strongly encourages local recovery of organs

To protect the health and safety of all involved in organ recovery and transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic, UNOS urges members to arrange for the surgical recovery of organs by local teams whenever possible including by recovery surgeons who may be available within the donor hospital. Reducing the number of recovery personnel traveling to the donor hospital is an important step to reduce exposure for all involved in donation and transplantation.
