As the world’s leading blood stem cell donor centre, we are constantly improving our quality standards.

What happens next? If your tissue characteristics match those of a patient, our staff will contact you immediately to ask if you are still willing to donate your stem cells. If you are, we will carry out a few tests and ask you some questions to ensure that you will be able to donate.

We’ll be with you every step of the way. Once you have undergone confirmatory typing, we will know you are a “genetic twin” and can give a person with blood cancer a second chance at life.

First of all, a big thank-you to you for volunteering to donate stem cells to a blood cancer patient whose life depends specifically on your donation. You will be giving that patient the greatest gift of all: a second chance at life.

After your stem cell donation, we ask you to take part in a donor follow-up. This helps us to keep a close eye on your well-being.

Even after donating, you may find you have new questions. Often, these are about the recipient of the stem cells. How is he or she doing? Is it possible to get in touch or even get to know each other personally?
