From January to June 2024, the number of Crimeans who joined the Federal Register of Bone Marrow Donors increased by 30%. This gives additional chances of salvation to people with severe blood diseases.
As of January 1, 2024, there were 971 residents of the Republic of Crimea in the Federal Register of Bone Marrow Donors. Over the past six months, 290 Crimeans have joined it, in other words, it has grown by almost 30% in just six months.— said Olga Chos, head of the department for recruiting donor personnel at the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution of the Republic of Karelia “Blood Center”.
According to her, during the same period in 2023, only 116 Crimeans joined the Register, that is, 2.5 times less than in 2024.
99 percent of all residents of the Republic of Crimea included in the Federal Register of Bone Marrow Donors are young people, that is, people who are under 35 years old.
