Greetings from DATRI Blood Stem Cell Donors Registry. Any healthy individual whose age is above 18yrs can register but in DATRI age between 18yrs to 50yrs can register as Blood Stem Cell donors with any registry and potentially become a lifesaver when they’re found to be a match for a fatal blood disorder patient.
Note: Age limits vary from Registry to Registry and country to country.
Why you should register and donate your Blood Stem Cells?
You might be wondering “Why should I become a Blood Stem Cell Donor?” There might be several questions and doubts in your mind on how this step could help someone. It is best to know the facts and decide for yourself.
Blood cancer and Thalassemia are words that have the force to unsettle even the strongest and bravest. It is not just the diagnosis of the disease, but also the social perception and lack of awareness about its treatment that makes it difficult for the patient to overcome the disease. An Unrelated Blood Stem Cell Transplant is most often the only cure for such disorders.
Every patient has a 25% chance of finding a match within the family. However, the rest of the patients do not find a suitable donor within the family. In such cases, there is a need to find an Unrelated Blood Stem Cell Donor. Blood Stem Cell Donors registries work towards creating a diverse database where the search of a life-saving donor meets a match.
The probability of finding an unrelated matched donor is 1 in 10,000 to 1 in over a Million. You could say that 1 in a Million match is for someone who is gripping on to their life at the edge with hope.
