AOPO is proud of the donation and transplantation community for reaching 45,217 organs transplanted from deceased donors in 2024. AOPO released a report showing how organ procurement organizations (OPOs) are quickly advancing toward our goal of 50,000 annual organ transplants in 2026. With just under 5,000 transplants to go, our progress demonstrates the dedication of our members and the generosity of donors and their families.
