April is Organ Donation Awareness month. Each year, there are approximately 4,500 Canadians on the organ donation waiting list, with 76 per cent of them awaiting a new kidney. Recent statistics indicate nearly one-third of the people who died while waiting for organs were waiting for a kidney.
Registering only takes a few minutes through your provincial registry. Recent polls indicate that although 90 per cent of Canadians say they are willing to be organ and tissue donors, registry numbers donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t reflect that. One registered organ donor could help up to eight people.
Are you registered as an organ donor? Take our poll and let your voice be heard.
