As lives hang in the balance, Saskatchewan’s organ donation rate lags behind other provinces. But why?
Of all the provinces, Saskatchewan had the lowest organ donation rate from deceased donors in 2015.
The province is considering a shift to a presumed consent system and developing a new organ donation program.
According to the Saskatoon branch of the Saskatchewan Health Authority, an average of two people die waiting for a suitable kidney every year.
