Organ Transplants: A Supply Crisis
|
Background
|
|
|
September 2001
|
| Organ donors truly give the gift of
life. In Canada, however, the rate of organ donation is
only 15 per million people. This rate is far below most
other countries. Far too many people are on the waiting
list to receive organs and unfortunately a third of those
in Canada will die waiting.
The government along with
hospital transplant programs are looking at various ways
to get more organs available in order to shorten those
waiting lists.
