DKMS is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and other blood disorders. Founded in 1991 and operating globally, the organization’s mission is to increase the number of lifesaving bone marrow and stem cell donors worldwide.
One of DKMS’s primary activities is registering potential donors. The organization conducts drives and campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of bone marrow and stem cell donation. They provide easy and free registration processes, often involving a simple cheek swab to add potential donors to their database.
DKMS also supports patients in need of transplants. They offer financial assistance, patient advocacy, and logistical support to ensure that patients receive the best possible care and have access to donors worldwide. Their efforts have resulted in over 90,000 transplants and a continually growing donor base.
DKMS also invests in research and innovation to improve transplantation processes and outcomes. By funding scientific studies and collaborating with medical institutions, they aim to enhance the effectiveness of treatments and increase survival rates for patients.
