Provincial Organ Donation Is Restored
The provincial organ donation program is once again back in service.Health Minister Madeleine Dubé says after a conference call with Health Canada they are now again compliant with the national regulations but will have to improve their documentation practices.
Dube adds they are relieved they did not have to refuse a donation in the week that the system was suspended.Last week, Health Canada inspectors found problems with the way the program collects and manages its documentation including one case in which a piece of information was not obtained about a donor who had a tattoo.
