The Toronto Lung Transplant Program has just completed 213 lung transplants in 2023. We broke our own world record for number of transplants in a single year (212 in 2019). I’m sure 2024 will be another great year! @UHN @UHNTransplant @UHN_Surgery @TrilliumGift @ISHLT @AATSHQ
Today marks a remarkable milestone in medicine as we celebrate 40 years since @UHN accomplished the world’s first successful lung transplant. This groundbreaking achievement not only saved lives but also paved the way for countless future medical innovations! 🫁
