Bone Marrow Registry

A Bone Marrow Registry is an organization that connects individuals willing to donate their bone marrow or stem cells with patients in need of a transplant due to blood diseases like leukemia. When someone joins the registry, a small sample of their blood is collected to analyze their tissue types (HLA). If a compatible patient matches, they can receive a transplant from a donor, often saving lives. Participating in the registry is a voluntary, lifesaving decision that helps expand the pool of potential donors, increasing chances for patients to find a suitable match.
