April is Be A Donor Month in Ontario and the Trillium Gift of Life Network is hammering home the importance of registration.
While 90% of Ontario residents support organ donation, only 35% are signed up as a donor.
ICU doctor and Ontario Health’s Organ and Tissue Donation Provincial Medical Director Andrew Healey says they’ll never eliminate the wait list, but it’s a goal they cannot afford to stop reaching for.
People die waiting for the help they need from living or deceased donors, something that can be stopped, says organ donor advocated Mary Pressley Vyas.
You can register to be a donor at beadonor.ca.
