By supporting WMDA, you’re helping to give people a second chance of life.
Every 14 minutes, someone in the world is diagnosed with blood cancer. For many, a stem cell transplant is their last chance of survival. The Coronavirus pandemic has caused a dramatic shortfall in our income, as well as urgent challenges to navigate to ensure patients still receive their lifesaving transplants in time.
Your support is needed, now more than ever, to help give more people a second chance of life.
Without you, there is no cure.
- Pressure governments to enact policies that make stem cell donation & transplantation safe, effective, affordable and available
- Educate future healthcare providers about the stem cell donation and how to find the best suitable stem cell source
- Develop solutions to streamline the communication between international organisations
- Support organisation practices that speed up the provision of stem cells to the patients
- Mobilise organisations, especially in developing countries, to develop an organixation for donor recruitment
- Raise awareness on stem cell donation and support World Marrow Donor Day
WMDA needs your help to continue our life-saving research in blood and marrow transplantation and other cellular therapies. We are proud of the support we receive from our corporate and government supporters. However, private contributions are essential for us to continue our work.
