Transplant Facts

There are 819,703 people registered on BC’s Organ Donor Registry.

As of Dec 31, 2011 432 British Columbians were waiting for an organ transplant.

Survival rates of transplant patients continue to improve, providing recipients with an extended and high quality of life.

However, many of those waiting for a solid organ transplant die while waiting for a suitable transplant.

All pediatric Liver, Bowel and Heart Transplants are currently performed in Alberta or Ontario.

Newsletter

The Children’s Organ Transplant Society (COTS) is a non profit organization started to support BC families who have children who are waiting for an organ transplant or who have had an organ transplant. All the families who are part of COTS have gone or will go through this life transforming experience, understand firsthand that families need more than medical support. They need a community of people who have shared similar experiences.

COTS is a community, a support network, a place to share and to learn. And although every transplant experience is unique, what is known is that when a child has had an organ transplant, it changes the lives of everyone in the family.

Our Vision

“Improving the lives of children requiring organ transplants, and giving them hope for a brighter future.”
