Every February marks the Black History Month and CDTRP is proud to celebrate this month and shed the light on the African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) communities in the donation and transplantation research fields. Last year, CDTRP Executive Director Dr. Patricia Gongal, Dr. Istvan Mucsi, Dr. Jacqueline Getfield, Dr. Carl James and Charles Cook were recipients of a CIHR Planning Grant, \u201cBuilding Partnerships with the African, Caribbean, and Black Communities to Address Health Inequities related to COVID-19 in Transplantation.\u201d Later this year, CDTRP will be hosting a transplant medicine series focusing on the ACB community and transplantation.<\/h6>\n
As Black History Month comes to a close, CDTRP is proud to highlight key initiatives working to address these healthcare inequities in donation and transplantation. We encourage our community to support these efforts and integrate equitable practices into their own projects and organizations.<\/h6>\n<\/div>

About the ACB Organ Health YouTube Channel<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Centre for Living Organ Donation at UHN has been working with patient partners, professionals and creatives from the African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) communities to develop and launch, in September 2021, the\u00a0ACB Organ Health<\/strong>, a\u00a0YouTube Channel<\/a>\u00a0dedicated to sharing experiences and knowledge of transplantation and living donation.<\/p>\n

The ACB Organ Health YouTube Channel Advisory Committee plans, co-creates and helps promote engaging, informative and trusted video content and supporting resources for ACB patients, caregivers, clinicians and community. A pilot intervention of\u00a0the A.C.T.I.O.N project<\/a><\/u>, this initiative provides accessible education on organ health including preventative care. Ultimately, ACB Organ Health aims to start the discussion of transplant disparities in the ACB community, share educational content, help prevent individuals within the ACB community from having health complications that may lead to an organ transplant, and perhaps most importantly, and share their personal stories to encourage and inspire others.<\/p>\n
