BC Transplant (BCT) founded in 1985 is now an agency of Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) in the Canadian province of British Columbia that registers consent to be donors of organs for organ transplantation.

In 2023, 563 British Columbians received an organ transplant. From 2009 to 2013, the province had the country's highest growth rate in deceased donations.[2] While about 90 per cent of the general public support the donation idea, only about a third of British Columbians are registered.[2] Twelve per cent of organ donors in BC are non-Caucasian donors, a slightly higher ethnicity rate than the national average of 9 per cent.[3]

In addition to managing the provincial organ donor registry, BCT transports donated organs within the province and also to other Canadian provinces. BCT also manages policies, standards and guidelines for transplants and funds regional health programs for pre-transplant and post-transplant services.

History

Created in 1985.

In 1986, BCT was the first organization in North America to combine organ donation registry and transplantation.[2]

In 1991, BCT established its annual Operation Popcorn project which delivers popcorn tins to appreciate health care workers for more than 25 years.[4]

In 1992, BCT established Transplant Research Foundation of British Columbia (TRF) with funding and administrative support.[5]

In 1997, BCT created North America's first online organ registration service for public access.[2]

In 2001, the new government of Premier Gordon Campbell added BCT and other province-wide specialized health service societies to be agencies of the newly created Provincial Health Services Authority.

In 2012, the province's rate of living(19.6 per million) and deceased(15.2/million) donors exceeded the national averages (16.3 and 13.6 respectively).[2] The BC rate is an increase from previous years. For example, in 2009 there were just 7.2/million deceased donors in BC.[6]

A 2012 Miss Universe Canada winner included BC Transplant as one of her charity promotions due to a cousin donating his heart.[7]
