Each day, there are approximately 6,000 patients searching the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) registry of more than 6.5 million potential bone marrow donors, which include the more than 1.7 million DKMS bone marrow donors.
If no one in your family is a match and you are in need of an unrelated donor, your transplant center can search the (NMDP) registry for you. We work together to help you find the best possible bone marrow donor.
There are more than 150 NMDP transplant centers. Review each center’s experience, matching statistics, costs, and record for specific types of blood diseases before making your final choice.
