Kidney Foundation of Canada - Organ & Tissue Donation Awareness Program

Health and research

The Kidney Foundation of Canada exists for the enhancement of kidney health and the reduction and, if possible, the elimination of the burden of kidney diseases.  The primary beneficiaries are people at risk of or affected by kidney disease.

Organ donation saves lives and restores health. A kidney transplant is not a cure, but represents the best possible improvement to health and quality of life for many people living with kidney failure. The only other life-sustaining treatment option is dialysis to artificially clean the blood.
