A single tissue donor can positively impact up to 20 lives

Recent statistics report that 901 tissue donors contributed to 5,436 tissues given to Quebec hospitals in the fiscal year 2022-2023! A single tissue donor can positively impact up to 20 lives. 

Donated tissues can be stored until needed. They can restore sight through cornea grafts and improve mobility for patients with bone and tendon grafts. They can save lives, for example, in the case of children needing heart valve replacements or patients with severe burns. 

About 40% of deaths are eligible for tissue donation. By choosing tissue donation, you can leave a lasting legacy of healing and hope. For more information, consult Héma-Québec’s website.
