News - Ezer Mizion

For many people suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diseases, a stem cell transplant offers the only chance for survival. Ezer Mizion's Bone Marrow Donor Registry (BMDR), today the largest Jewish bone marrow donor registry in the world, was established in 1998 to find genetically-compatible donors for patients in need of transplants. In January through June 2010 Ezer Mizion's BMDR facilitated another seventy six life-saving transplants! Thirty six of these transplants were made possible thanks to funding for initial testing of blood samples provided by the following personalized donor pools.
