In life, it is very important to truly meet your person: a colleague, a friend, a loved one. And sometimes the treasured “match” can save a life - for example, if a bone marrow transplant is needed. In some diseases, the functioning of this organ is disrupted. A patient facing such a problem can be helped by a donor who is genetically close to him.
Who can share stem cells, how does the donation procedure work, what can anyone do to help a stranger? These resources will help you learn more about bone marrow donation.
To make it easier for patients with diseases of the blood system to find volunteers willing to donate their hematopoietic stem cells, a Federal Register of Bone Marrow Donors has been created in Russia. The more records it contains, the higher the chances of recovery for people who require a stem cell transplant.
It is important that the decision to join the register is conscious. Up-to-date information on bone marrow donation is available on the website km.donorstvo.org.
