Stem Cell Donation

Will stem cell donation impact my health in the long-term?

Stem cell donation is very safe. It typically takes around 1-2 weeks to feel fully back to normal after a stem cell donation. From our extensive research, there is no evidence to suggest that donating stem cells has any impact on your long-term health.
