Body donation program
Service after death
Through the body donation program, students gain a deeper understanding of human anatomy through first-hand experience.
At the same time, the program gives donors the opportunity to make an invaluable contribution to the advancement of health sciences. Your generous act provides a unique and lasting way to offer service after death.
In addition to the humanitarian aspects of this important decision, making advance arrangements can help relieve some of the stress your loved ones will face after your passing. When a death occurs, your next-of-kin is legally responsible for your body. Your advance plans will help your family decide what to do next during a very difficult time.
Creating opportunities
Your commitment to the University of Manitoba's students, faculty and research is encouraging the world's next generation of leaders and empowering an engine of innovation.
