The Ministry of Health, together with the Registry of Voluntary Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors in Romania (RNDVCSH), invites you to the press conference marking the first national event dedicated to the World Marrow Donor Day. This is the first time in the world that this day is celebrated and thanks are given to all 25 million voluntary donors around the world, who through their gesture have saved lives.

The event will take place on Monday, September 21, 2015, at 10 am, at the Novotel Hotel, Paris Droite room (Calea Victoriei 37 B, sector 1) in Bucharest in the presence of the Minister of Health, Dr. Nicolae Bănicioiu and the Secretary of State, Prof. Dr. Dorel Săndesc, the President of the Scientific Council of RNDVCSH, Prof. Dr. Dan Coliță and the General Director of RNDVCSH, Dr. Aurora Dragomirișteanu.Vor participa atât pacienți care au beneficiat de un transplant de celule stem hematopoietice, donatori de celule stem hematopoietice, cât și medici care se ocupă de îngrijirea acestora (copii și adulți, diagnosticați cu leucemie sau alte boli grave ale țesutului sanguin sau ale sistemului imunitar), reprezentanți ai Agenției Naționale de Transplant și ai Asociației pentru Registru Donatorilor de Celule Stem.

After the event, we are waiting for you in University Square in Bucharest, where, as part of the “Donate a chance at life!” caravan, a mobile collection center will be set up for people aged between 18 and 45 who want to register as potential donors, and where a dedicated area will be set up where messages of thanks can be left to donors who continue to give life.
