Organ donations down, even as thousands of Canadians wait for transplants


 
MONTREAL --
The COVID-19 pandemic hasn't just affected the health of those hit by the virus, as organ donations in Canada have fallen by almost 40 per cent.
Sunday marks the beginning of National Organ and Tissue Donation Week. According to data from the David Foster Foundation, donations dropped by 39 per cent in 2020, but the trend had been ongoing for some time.
“We have a lot of work to do in our country. We live in one of the greatest countries, we're incredibly blessed, yet we have one of the worst donor registration rates in all developed countries,” said foundation CEO Michael Ravenhill.
