Facts:

Every 5 mins someone in India is diagnosed with blood cancer, thalassemia and aplastic anaemia! For many of these people, a stem cell donation from a matching donor is their only chance of survival. DKMS-BMST aims to register more potential stem cell donors in order to give more blood cancer patients a second chance at life.

The life saving treatment for blood cancer lies within each one of us, for our genetic twin.

Step-1: REGISTRATION (at the event)

Ø Required only once in your life time.

Ø Check eligibility, fill a consent form and give a cheek swab to do your tissue (HLA)-type.

Ø With this step, you will be listed on a Life-Savers list till you are 60 years of age!

If you are ever found to be a match for a patient in need of blood stem cell donation, you could proceed to step 2.

Step-2: MATCH CONFIRMATION

Ø If matched with a patient, you confirm your willingness to go ahead with donation

Ø Blood test to confirm you are the perfect HLA match!

If the consent and confirmatory typing is successful, you could proceed to step 3.

Step-3: VOLUNTARY STEM CELL DONATION

Ø Master health check to confirm eligibility

Ø Donation through a safe process, similar to an outpatient blood platelet donation

Ø NO LOSS, NO RISK! Stem cells donated are naturally regenerated in 1-2 days
