According to a survey report, low rate of organ donation in Canada is not because it gets little public support.

Transplant Society Congress in Vancouver is planning to introduce a board discussion on this issue and will work towards the improvement of blood donation and transplantation rates.

A study conducted by the Canadian Blood Services mentions that the need for organ donation in Canada will increase by 152% in the coming two decades.

It is worth mentioning that the rate of organ and tissue donation in Canada has decreased drastically in the last 10 years.

The current national rate is 14 donors per million, which is quite less as compared to other countries like the United States and Spain, where the organ donation rate is 32 per million.

The President of Trillium Gift of Life Network, Frank Markel says that now the organ donation rate is improving in Canada. For example, in the previous year, Ontario reported a 50% increase in the donation rate.

The poll results indicate that almost half of Canadians are in favor of donating their organs at the time of death. Another 42% have still not taken their decision and the rest 7 % have made up their mind not to donate their organs to anyone.
