关于我们
DKMS is an international nonprofit where creativity, initiative, compassion, collaboration and strategic thinking are rewarded as we work together to expand our reach, recruit more bone marrow donors and help save more lives. Following the establishment of DKMS, our German predecessor, we were founded in 2004 in the U.S. as DKMS Americas, and since renamed DKMS. With the firm belief that people everywhere can play an active role in saving the lives of others with blood cancers and blood and bone marrow disorders, our mission is to grow the number of suitable bone marrow and blood stem cell donors for patients in need of a transplant. Today, DKMS is comprised of nearly 100 passionate employees and thousands of volunteers who work tirelessly toward a common goal of facilitating successful donations. Many of our employees have personally seen the urgent need for a vast and diverse donor registry, giving the organization an unmatched level of energy, creativity and dedication. DKMS is part of the world’s largest network of bone marrow donor centers, having registered more than 6 million people. Currently, nearly 56,000 those have gone on to donate to a patient.

Matching Matters: It's All About HLA, Not Blood Type Did you know that a donor doesn't need to share the same blood type as the patient? What truly counts is matching human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue markers. A close HLA match gives patients the best chance for their bodies to accept donated cells and rebuild healthy blood. How It Works: ?? Doctors examine 10 HLA markers to find the best match. ?? After the transplant, the patient’s blood type adjusts to match the donor’s! Becoming a donor is simple—swab your cheek, mail it back, and you'll be added to the National Bone Marrow Registry. You might be the life-saving match someone has been waiting for.

With blood cancer patients facing a 1 in 100,000 chance of finding a perfect match, DKMS Africa’s tireless efforts over the past three years have been nothing short of life-changing. Their strategic outreach continues to inspire new donors, bringing hope to those awaiting a stem cell transplant. This recognition is not just a win for DKMS Africa, but for every patient, donor, and advocate working toward a future free of blood-related diseases.
