Stem Cell Donation -DKMS

 

DKMS is an international non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of patients with blood cancer and blood disorders.

Founded in Germany in 1991 by Dr Peter Harf, DKMS and the organisation of over 1,000 employees have since relentlessly pursued the aim of giving as many patients as possible a second chance at life. With over 11 million registered donors, DKMS has succeeded in doing this 100,000 times to date by providing blood stem cell donations to those in need. 

This accomplishment has led to DKMS becoming the global leader in the facilitation of unrelated blood stem cell transplants. The organization has offices in Germany, the US, Poland, the UK, Chile and South Africa. In India.
