Promoting Donor Care

WMDA operates a global, independent, and professionally-led biovigilance scheme, ensuring the highest standards of donor and patient safety in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donation and transfusion. Since 2003, WMDA has collected and analysed anonymised data on adverse events and reactions from organisations worldwide, using this intelligence to generate evidence-based recommendations. These recommendations, published in our annual report, are disseminated to professional bodies and WMDA member organisations, ensuring continuous improvement in donor and patient care.
