The BC liver transplant record of 80 matched the 2017 record. There were also 280 kidney transplants that took place last year, including from 81 living donors. “The success of organ transplant is a transformative feat of expertise, coordination and caring through the province, in every health authority,” Adrian Dix, health minister, said. “A total of 451 people in BC received a life-saving transplant in 2020. Today, there are 5,491 British Columbians alive thanks to the incredible generosity of organ donors.” In 2020, 110 people donated organs after death as their families making a selfless decision in a moment of grief to gift life to others. Jason Gray-Stanford, a Vancouver actor who received a heart transplant late last year after going unexpectedly into heart failure is grateful for the future he now has before him.
