Current version: 20181207. Document with the latest changes on WMDA template forms can be found here.

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.

Every year, WMDA publishes its Finance and Activity Report to provide transparency and accountability to our stakeholders. This comprehensive report highlights the progress made towards our mission, key achievements, financial performance, and ongoing initiatives. By sharing these insights, we aim to foster trust, demonstrate responsible governance, and showcase the collective impact of our global network.

The annual report serves as a vital tool for stakeholders, including member organizations, partners, and supporters, to stay informed about our activities, strategic priorities, and the value delivered by WMDA.

WMDA is the leading organisation in collecting data on the international exchange of cells for unrelated transplant between countries. The data have been collected since 1997.

Annually, WMDA invites all organisations involved in recruiting and registering voluntary stem cell donors and/or cord blood donors to contribute to the Global Trends Report.

This report is a trusted and essential resource, providing comprehensive global insights into stem cell donor and cord blood unit inventories. It features key data on:
✅ National and international transportation
✅ HLA-typing specifications
✅ Search and match statistics
…and much more!

In 2024, 102 organisations from 60 countries participated, helping to create a robust dataset that benefits the entire global transplant community.

Whether you’re a WMDA member or not, your contribution matters!

Every year, close to 30,000 volunteer donors are asked to donate blood stem cells to a patient they do not know. To ensure the continued viability of the global system using volunteer donors, donor health and safety are of critical importance. The WMDA collects Serious (Product) Events and Adverse Reactions –S(P)EARs– via an online reporting servic: SPEAR. The aim of the SPEAR system is to gain insight in the occurrence of serious events and adverse effects in relation to blood stem cell donation by volunteer donors and blood stem cell collection/processing from volunteer donors. Reporting for related donors is highly encouraged as well.
