Expansion of the physician-coordinator program to all establishments in Quebec

In 2019, the Minister of Health and Social Services, Danielle McCann, announced the expansion of the program for physicians specialized in coordinating organ and tissue donation and transplantation. The number of health establishments benefitting from the program was increased from 10 to 32. This was good news, since statistics show that organ donation numbers improve in health establishments with a physician-coordinator responsible for organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
