Summary

A recent report from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reviewed 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, and found one hundred cases had what they called "concerning features." In some cases, donors were still showing neurological signs, indicating the organ procurement process began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The report led to shocking headlines, a congressional hearing, and many Americans questioning whether they could trust our country’s organ donation system. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, the chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the alarming report, the process of organ transplants, and what they’re doing to ensure that they’re done properly. Dr. Lynch discussed what went wrong in the cases where the transplant process began too early, but also emphasized how well the system works generally and how it's vital to saving lives. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Dr. Raymond Lynch, allowing you to learn even more about America’s organ donation system. Learn more about your ad choices.
