World Marrow Donor Day 2020

On September 19, 2020, Romania, along with 57 other countries, celebrates World Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Day.

Between September 6 and 27, 2020, in Bucharest and 12 other large cities in Romania, we will organize the eighth edition of the “Donate a Chance for Life!” campaign. The “Donate a Chance for Life!” campaign is an event of public interest and is supported by the Ministry of Health.

The goal of this year’s campaign is to bring to the public’s attention and raise awareness of the importance of registering with the RNDVCSH. Any healthy person between the ages of 18 and 45 can be a potential donor and save the life of a patient diagnosed with a serious blood disease that has no treatment.

As part of the campaign, a series of information, education and communication activities will be carried out for registration in the Registry. Several online events will take place on September 19, 2020 when the Romanian Registry will celebrate together with the National Donor Registries around the world, „World Marrow Donor Day”.
