Organ and Tissue Donation[edit | edit source]
TGLN plays a crucial role in facilitating organ and tissue donation in Ontario. The agency works closely with hospitals, healthcare professionals, and donor families to ensure that donations are handled with care and respect. TGLN also manages the registration of organ donors, allowing individuals to express their consent to donate their organs and tissues after death.

The need for organ and tissue donations in Ontario is significant. As of the latest data, thousands of individuals are on the waitlist for organ transplants. TGLN's efforts have led to an increase in the number of registered donors and successful transplants over the years.
