The faculties and units of CTU together with the charitable organization Recruiting Heroes are looking for new bone marrow donors. Our goal is not only to expand recruitment to the Czech National Bone Marrow Donor Registry, but also to raise awareness of the importance of donation. This is a unique event where on one day, namely 6 November 2024, six sites in Prague and Kladno will be available at Czech Technical University in Prague where interested people can register all day long.
Every hero counts!
Why?
One in four patients who need a bone marrow transplant for their recovery does not have a donor on the registry with the necessary genetic match. You can help change that with your registration!
Conditions for joining the registry
- Age 18 - 35 years (inclusive)
- Weight 50 kg or more
- Good health
- Willingness to give your time and comfort to save the life of a stranger
How does registration work?
Just take 10 minutes of your time, fill out the questionnaire and wipe your mouth with a brush.
Do you know?
- Registration does not mean donation, the actual donation occurs for about 1% of all enrollees.
- A patient who is about to undergo a bone marrow transplant has no other hope of recovery.
- One in four patients on the register does not have a donor with the necessary genetic match, help change that by joining the register.
- You can donate in two ways: a puncture needle collection from the pelvic bone under full anaesthetic or by separation directly from the blood, which looks similar to donating blood plasma and doesn't hurt!
