Organ Transplants in Manitoba

In Manitoba we perform lung and kidney transplants, including pediatric kidney transplants.

Manitobans who need a liver, heart or pancreas transplant are listed with programs in other provinces where those types of transplants are performed.

Does this mean that Manitobans cannot donate organs other than kidneys or lungs?

Your location does not mean you cannot donate! For donation after death, medical teams from other provinces fly into Winnipeg to retrieve organs not transplanted here, and take them back to their hospital for the transplant surgery.
