WMDA Forms
WMDA has developed template forms that organisations can use to cover the initial search process through the delivery of stem cell at the transplant facility. Find all forms available on this page.
The WMDA strongly recommends using an up to date PDF reader. Please do not use the forms in your web browser since some WMDA form functions e.g. the GRID calculation check and the signature block will not work. In case you would like to have advice on which PDF reader programme you should use, please contact mail@wmda.info.

Sharing Life
This book is about heroes, donors who have donated their bone marrow or blood stem cells to save a stranger’s life. Behind the scenes, there are amazing people who play an unseen but vital role in the journey these cells make from the donor to a patient: medical personnel, search coordinators, donor recruiters and couriers. Let your mind be opened and your heart touched as you read this collection of true stories about people who care, who have reached across boundaries of nationality, ethnicity and geography to make a real difference to the lives of patients in need.
“Everybody can be diagnosed with blood cancer. But on the other hand, everyone can also help. Whoever joins a stem cell register can become a lifesaver one day! The WMDA, therefore, accomplishes a very important job. Which is why I support the worldwide fight against the disease! One thing is for sure: We can only defeat blood cancer together.” Jérôme Boateng – World Soccer Champion and Ambassador of DKMS Soccer Project

A gift for life
Since the first successful unrelated bone marrow transplant in 1973, hundred thousands of unrelated blood stem cell transplants have been performed worldwide. This would not have been possible without the existence of blood stem cell organisations in many countries. Still, not all patients in need of a blood stem cell transplant are able to find a suitable donor or cord blood unit even today, which motivates people to start up new registries or cord blood banks in countries which do not have one yet. WMDA has developed a handbook which guides new organisations on how to set up a registry or cord blood bank. As WMDA member, you will get free access to the digital version of the WMDA Handbook.
