Bone Marrow Stem Cell Donation Awareness Month

Bone Marrow Stem Cell Donation and Leukaemia Awareness Month is a significant campaign aimed at increasing awareness about the importance of bone marrow stem cell donation for patients with leukaemia. This month-long event, observed from 15 July to 15 August, highlights the life-saving potential of stem cell donations and encourages more people to register as donors. The campaign is organized by DKMS Africa, a non-profit organization formed in 1999 by parents whose children had contracted leukaemia. The initiative aims to create awareness about the need for donors and the importance of finding a match for patients in need of transplants.
