As the world’s leading blood stem cell donor center, we are constantly improving our quality standards.

If your human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is found to match a patient, you will be contacted by a member of the DKMS team. The donor management team member may reach out via email, phone call, text message, and letter to share the news and to kick-off this exciting process.

After confirmatory typing, you are probably excited to know if you will be called to move forward. So are we!

You're ready to move forward and donate! You will be giving a patient the greatest gift of all: a second chance at life.

You are important to us and we want to make sure you are doing well after your donation. After your stem cell or bone marrow donation, we will ask you to take part in donor follow-up to help keep a close eye on your well-being and walk you through recovery.

For many donors, the main concern post-donation is for the recipient of the stem cell transplant and may wish to have contact with their recipient. Sometimes anonymous or direct contact is allowed, but it depends upon the rules of the recipient’s transplant center and country.
