NIGERIA: Bone marrow register an important milestone

Only a fraction of the millions of people worldwide with blood and autoimmune disorders survive - especially those in poorer countries - partly due to the lack of bone marrow stem cell transplants. A recently established Nigerian bone marrow registry hopes to boost matches between donors and patients, and survival chances.

The launch of this registry is a major step in the country’s efforts to treat cancer and other diseases of the immune system. By helping patients find a bone marrow match the Bone Marrow Registry In Nigeria (BMRN) could potentially give individuals access to life-saving treatment.
