Transplant Québec is pleased to announce that Martine Bouchard has been appointed to the position of executive director. In that capacity, she will have a mandate to exercise unifying leadership by building consensus, mobilizing leading actors across the community at the provincial, national and international levels, and developing the expertise required to effect a real transformation of the organ donation and transplantation system.
The pandemic has caused an almost 20% drop in organ donation and transplantation activities in Quebec, according to figures published today in Québec Transplant's 2020 annual report.
