World Marrow Donor Day 2022
On Saturday, September 17, 2022, we celebrate World Marrow Donor Day internationally.
On this occasion, in Bucharest, on the evening of September 17, starting at 9:00 PM, for one hour, the fountains on Unirii Boulevard will offer a show in the colors blue-white-red, specific colors of the international registry of which the National Registry of Voluntary Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors is also a part. The light and color projection with the symbol of World Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Day, accompanied by the messages “Thank You! Donor”, “Donate a chance at life!”, “Register in the Registry of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors!”, “Campaign supported by the Ministry of Health!”, will be integrated into a musical show, to the music of George Enescu (Rapsodia Română).
Also, in Iași, the building of the “Gr. T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy will be illuminated, and in Cluj-Napoca, the city hall and prefecture buildings will be illuminated.
In several cities across the country where donor registration centers are organized, promotion and registration events will take place in the Registry.
The purpose of celebrating World Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Day is to thank donors who donated for an unrelated patient as well as those registered in registries around the world and who are the hope for a cure for patients who can have a new chance at life through hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
In order to offer a chance at life to all patients, the Romanian Registry must grow with people from all geographic areas and all ethnicities.
We encourage you to sign up for the Registry and share it with your friends, through photos and messages posted on social media channels. Thus, the more people who are registered as potential donors, the more real our common cause of saving the lives of patients who need a new chance at life will be.
Please use the following hashtags when sharing posts: #WMDD2022, #doneazaosansalaviata and #thankyoudonor and feel free to tag @registrul national al donatorilor voluntari de celule stem hematopoietice.
