Significant increase in volunteer bone marrow donors in Greece
Very positive news comes from the health sector in our country. According to official data from the Hellenic Transplant Organization (EOM), the number of volunteer bone marrow donors in Greece has now exceeded 120,000.
These volunteers have registered with the National Registry, offering hope to patients who need a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Public participation in this process is critical, as finding a compatible donor can save the lives of people suffering from serious blood diseases.
The registration process for the registry is simple and safe, allowing more people to become part of this solidarity effort. Experts emphasize that the larger the volunteer database, the greater the chances of finding the appropriate graft for every patient in need.
The increase in the number of donors shows the sensitivity of Greek society toward issues of giving and humanitarianism. Continuous public awareness remains important so that the number of volunteers continues to grow in the future.
