At the campaign for registration in the Croatian Bone Marrow Donor Registry held on 23rd November 2022 in the Split Health School 40 new potential donors joined the Registry.<\/p>\n
Assoc. Ph.D.Sc. Esma \u010ce\u010duk Jeli\u010di\u0107, coordinator for cooperation with the Ana Rukavina Foundation from KBC Split and a long-term volunteer of the Foundation, held a lecture on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and explained to students and teachers the importance of registration in the Croatian Registry as well as explaining the procedure of donating stem cells.<\/p>\n
The lecture was attended by 150 students and about 10 teachers as well as the Dean of the Split Health School, Sanja Peri\u0107, professor of pedagogy.<\/p>\n
Blood samples were taken by Marijana Gaji\u0107, mag. of nursing and Andrea Zec, mag. of nursing, who are both teachers at the School of Health.<\/p>\n
The action was prepared and organized by Petra Ognjenovi\u0107, prof. of psychology and Katija Biskupovi\u0107, MD, also a teacher at the School.<\/p>\n
Matea Tarabene, mag. biol., also helped greatly by filling application forms and storing blood samples.<\/p>\n
We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts, because without their selfless involvement the Foundation would not have fulfilled its purpose to such an extent. Also, a big thank you to the students of the Split Health School for their decision to give someone a chance to live by entering the Croatian register, and to doctors and nurses involved. Lastly, we are very grateful to our long-time volunteer and the heart of the Ana Rukavina Foundation Assoc. Ph.D.Sc. Esma \u010ce\u010duk Jeli\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
