"We have some of the world's best transplant technology, yet every year countless Canadians die waiting for an organ," says Michael Bloch, past- president of the Canadian Association of Transplantation and Donor Coordinator at the London Health Sciences Centre. "Advances in medical technology not only contribute to the success of transplantation, but they also reduce the number of potential donors, and the waiting list for these 'gifts of life' continues to grow. As such, the 'transplant' gap is widening at an alarming rate. One solution to this dilemma lies in increased public education and awareness, and, more importantly, action."
To generate awareness of the importance of organ donation and transplantation, Discovery Health Channel will feature a week of special programming on the topic. Beginning Tuesday, April 23, Canadians can learn more about organ donation and transplantation through the personal stories of recipients who have received a life-saving donation, and patients who are still waiting on the list.
