Since 1997, WMDA monitors the worldwide activity of stem cell donor registries and cord blood banks. The results are summarized in a unique report which reflects the global stage of unrelated stem cell transplantation, like the number of donors and cord blood units listed worldwide and numbers of donations provided internationally and to which countries. You can contact the WMDA office for more details.
