An action to join the Registry of voluntary hematopoietic stem cell donors will take place on Trg Republike Hrvatske in Rijeka on Monday, February 25th, from 1 PM to 4 PM.
The mayor of the city of Rijeka, Vojko Obersnel, will take part in the action to join the Registry around 2 PM.
All healthy people between the ages of 18 and 40 can join the Registry by filling in an application form and a medical questionnaire and giving a blood sample for HLA tissue typing (the procedure for determining the tissue compatibility antigen).
Every potential donor may save someone’s life because bone marrow transplantation can cure patients suffering from acute and chronic forms of leukemia, as well as patients with severely damaged bone marrow. The motto of every action to join the Registry is – the cure is in us!
Come and join us in Rijeka on Monday. We look forward to seeing you there!
