BECOME A STEM CELL DONOR
Register as a potential lifesaver. If you meet the criteria, you may register as a donor with one of the national organisations. It might take weeks, months or years before you’re found to be the one match for a patient in need and give them a second chance at life. Once you are found to be the match, you will be asked to donate your stem cells.
Encourage your friends and family to become a blood stem cell donor!
Financial Support
With your financial support the World Marrow Donor Association assists countries that are developing a transplantation program for patients in their country and/or are starting up a donor registry or donor center.
TELL US YOUR STORY
Are you a patient and would like to thank your donor? Or are you a donor who has donated blood stem cells or marrow and want to share your experience?

Your financial contribution to WMDD will be used to facilitate transplants for patients in need, especially in countries where there is currently limited transplant activity. WMDA develops and maintains a platform that ensures transplant coordination between countries, as 50% of unrelated transplants are performed after international exchange of stem cells. With your donation we can continue the work we do and help onboard more countries, making equity of care more than just a phrase.
