Dkms Uk

Our mission is to provide a suitable donor for every person in need of a blood stem cell donation. Every 20 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. For many, a blood stem cell donation from a matching donor is their best chance of survival. We work towards achieving our mission by raising awareness and empowering people to register as potential blood stem cell donors, and to join our campaign by taking action in their communities, schools, and companies; working with volunteers and organisations throughout the UK to inspire and register more people. We operate in 7 countries (UK, Germany, Poland, US, Chile, India and Africa) and have registered more than 11 million potential donors. Donors registered with DKMS have given more than second chances of life to people diagnosed with a blood cancer or blood disorder. Our worldwide search for new donors continues though as many people are still not able to find the matching donor they need.
