Habteab's last ray of hope

Habteab from Dießen am Ammersee has been battling blood cancer for three years. His only hope of survival is a stem cell transplant: a race against time.

Despite family typing in his home country of Eritrea, the search for a suitable match has so far been unsuccessful.

But Habteab's medical team is not giving up on him: "We want to continue to give a young, lively man full of potential, a chance.

We have known Habteab for so long and find it difficult to see his chance at life slip away because no suitable donor has been found yet." It is particularly important to the team to reach people from the German-Eritrean or East African communities, as for many affected individuals – including Habteab – the genetic match is significantly higher in certain population groups.
