Abstract
The growth in the number of dialysis patients in Canada is causing a critical shortage of resources. The low transplantation rate and an increase in the number of patients, combined with insufficient funding to expand facilities, threatens access to the expensive but life-sustaining therapy. Michel Martin, who recently underwent a kidney transplant, looks at the situation facing dialysis patients in Quebec and Ontario.
