Organ donation testament can be saved in My Kanta Pages

Notice Written on 6.10.2020 All notices

In Finland, everyone is an organ donor unless they have separately opted out. However, efforts are made to find out the wishes of the donor where possible. One can record the decision to donate in My Kanta Pages.

An organ donation testament means that you wish to donate organs and tissue after death to be used in organ transplantation for the treatment of another person. You can easily record your own decision on the Organ donation page in My Kanta Pages. In addition to recording it in My Kanta Pages, it is a good idea to tell your family about the organ donation testament.

In My Kanta Pages, you can enter further information about the organ donation testament you have recorded and print out a copy of a valid organ donation testament. The organ donation testament recorded in My Kanta Pages is saved in the Kanta Services where healthcare professionals will see it via the patient information system.  

My Kanta Pages is a citizen’s online service where you can view the health data and prescriptions recorded by healthcare professionals. In the service, you can also request a repeat prescription and record your living will in addition to an organ donation testament. Log in to My Kanta Pages at www.kanta.fi with your online banking codes, mobile certificate or electronic ID card.

The European Organ Donation Week will be held on 5–10 October 2020. Saturday 10 October is the European Organ Donation Day.
