The Centre for Living Organ Donation at UHN Details
The Centre for Living Organ Donation was created by UHN Transplant in 2018 to improve access to living organ donation for people who need a life-saving kidney or liver transplant and those who want to give a transformative gift of life.For people in need of a kidney or liver transplant, living organ donation may offer a shorter pathway to better health – providing faster access to a transplant and quicker recovery. But there are not enough living donors to meet the need. One of the world's first, the Centre for Living Organ Donation at UHN raises awareness, provides care, promotes research and offers hope for thousands of Canadians who are waiting for a kidney or liver transplant – and everyone who wants to be part of their future.We collaborate with care team members, researchers, community partners and others to enhance the living donor experience, promote the long-term safety of living donation, and improve access to living donation and transplantation. Our work would not be possible without living donors and we are continually celebrating their incredible acts of generosity. For more information visit livingorgandonation.ca
