The Centre for Living Organ Donation | GiveLifeUHN
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.
The Centre for Living Organ Donation was created by the Ajmera Transplant Centre in 2018 to improve access to living organ donation for people who need a life-saving kidney or liver transplant, those who want to give a transformative gift of life and everyone who wants to be part of their future.
One of the world’s first, the Centre for Living Organ Donation raises awareness, provides care, promotes research and offers hope for thousands of Canadians who are waiting for a kidney or liver transplant.
We are located at University Health Network's Toronto General Hospital, one of the World's Best Hospitals according to Newsweek.
The Centre for Living Organ Donation is funded by the UHN Foundation.
