The Centre for Living Organ Donation at UHN

For those in need of a kidney or liver transplant, living organ donation may offer a shorter pathway to better health - providing faster access to transplant and a quicker recovery. But there are not enough donors to meet the need.

The Centre for Living Organ Donation was created by UHN Transplant (now the Ajmera Transplant Centre) 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.

We raise awareness, provide support, promote research and offer hope to thousands of people who are waiting for a kidney or liver transplant - and everyone who wants to be part of their future.

We are located at Toronto General Hospital, a member of the University Health Network (UHN), also home to Toronto Western Hospital, the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, and The Michener Institute of Education at UHN. Toronto General Hospital has been at the top of Canada's Top 40 Research Hospitals list since 2011, and was named one the world's best hospitals by Newsweek magazine.

The Ajmera Transplant Centre is the largest organ transplant program in North America. We welcome patients and living donors from across Canada and beyond. We also partner with SickKids on the largest paediatric living donor transplant program in Canada.

For more information about us and what we do, please visit www.livingorgandonation.ca or email livingorgandonation@uhn.ca. To join our mailing list go to bit.ly/GiveLifeUHNsubscribe.

The Centre for Living Organ Donation is funded by the UHN Foundation. Thank you to our generous donors for supporting our work.
