Health Canada recently released the Third Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada (2021)<\/a>. The data is gathered from the reports submitted by the medical or nurse practitioners who carried out the euthanasia death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing the Third Annual report (2021) to the Second Annual Report (2020), the report states that there were: 10,064 assisted deaths in 2021 up from 7603 in 2020, 5661 in 2019, 4480 in 2018, 2838 in 2017 and 1018 in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
