Launches “End the Wait” Initiative
There is on an urgent need to increase
the number of organs available for transplantation in
the United States. To address this complex problem, the
Board of Directors of the National Kidney Foundation has
launched a comprehensive action plan to increase the number
of transplants for kidney patients.
The End the Wait! initiative
is a roadmap to implementing tested and proven strategies
that will effectively end the wait for kidney transplants
in 10 years.
Working
in collaboration with other organizations, government
agencies and individuals, NKF’s recommendations will eliminate
barriers, institute best practices across the nation,
improve the transplant system, cover the cost of donating
an organ, reduce regional and ethnic disparities and increase
living and deceased donation throughout the United States.
