Who will receive my organs and tissue? Will they stay in Ontario or Canada ?
The hospital will contact Trillium Gift of Life Network, which keeps a list of everyone in Ontario who is waiting for an organ transplant. Trillium Gift of Life Network will match the tissue and blood type of the donor to an individual(s) on the waiting list. If a match is found the individual(s), who for medical reasons most needs a transplant, will receive the donated organs. If the medical urgency is the same, the individual on the waiting list the longest will receive the organ. If there is no suitable match, a cross-reference is made across Canada and possibly in the United States . This is done to save lives.
