SPLIT’s Response to the OPTN Board Nominating Committee

The Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation has written the following statement in response to the OPTN Board Nominating Committee and new Board.

Advocacy and PFEP Statements, May 2023

OPTN Optimization Initiative

The Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation has written this statement as an initial community response to the Health Resources and Services Administration’s OPTN Modernization Initiative. We look forward to engaging with HRSA, the OPTN, and the transplant community on initiatives to modernize and improve transplant in the U.S. – particularly for children awaiting and after life-saving liver transplant.

PFEP

In the transplant community, our hope is to see our nation work together to improve the process we have now, and first and foremost, prioritize children. We need to start thinking of the children first when it comes to creating the policies that shape our transplant system. No child should be left without a viable organ option!
