Chennai, Tamil Nadu Dec 5, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - BE THE CURE – JOIN US IN SAVING LIVES
Stem cells donation gives thousands of children and adults each year a renewed chance at living full and active lives. However, the need for stem cells outweighs their availability. Stem cells donation is a great opportunity to help & save thousands of lives who are suffering from blood cancer.
BE THE CURE enable quick and affordable access to matching stem cells from donated Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC) to Indians with blood cancers, Thalassemia, and curable blood disorders.
WHO WE ARE?
Be the Cure Registry is the first Indian public stem cell bank. It is an initiative by Jeevan to help Indians suffering from blood cancers and Indian babies with Thalassemia to get a quick match and an affordable treatment.
ABOUT JEEVAN STEM CELLS FOUNDATION
Since 2008, Jeevan operates the only active Public Cord Blood Bank, the largest in SAARC region with over 5600 units of stem cells ready for transplant. Jeevan also operates a Bone Marrow Donor Registry (2015) with over 3500 committed blood donors. Jeevan has facilitated over 83 transplants through the registries and free high-resolution HLA typing services.
JOIN OUR REGISTRY
Bone Marrow Registry is a database of potential stem cell India donors, whose Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) is typed by Jeevan and stored in a server. When a patient needs a donor, the matching donor is identified from the database. He/she is then counseled, medically examined and then encouraged to donate stem cells. These stem cells are used for the treatment of patients.
JOIN HANDS WITH JEEVAN!!!
