According to data from the Mayo Clinic, surgeons conducted the one-millionth organ transplant Friday afternoon, just decades after the first successful kidney transplant in 1954.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate more than 41,000 transplants were performed in 2021, which is the highest on record. Officials say there\u2019s a need for more organ donations as nearly 107,000 people remain on the wait list.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe difficulty with organ transplantation is we don\u2019t have enough organs,\u201d explained Dr. William Payne, Medical Director at LifeSource. \u201cThere are some people who wait until they die. They wait years and years and it never comes. It\u2019s just life-saving. One donor can save eight lives with just choosing to give that gift of life at the end.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today the U.S. has reached the milestone of 1 million organ transplants!
