Students Vs Blood Cancer

Support our fight against Blood Cancer

Every 5 minutes someone in India is diagnosed with blood cancer or other blood disorder. In our battle against Blood Cancer, we at DKMS-BMST believe that the only way to move forward as an organization and in accomplishing this mission of deleting blood cancer is if our league consists of an all-powerful legion of young minds like you. We are looking for young people like you to come forward an help us in our fight against blood cancer and blood disorders.

We need you...

As a student, you can register as blood stem cell donor and you can also increase awareness of blood cancer and run donor drive events at your university, student union or colleges to help those diagnosed with blood cancer find their lifesaving match.

Step forward and become a lifesaver with DKMS-BMST!

How does registration work?

• Order a swab kit online: Answer a few simple questions about yourself to make sure you’ll be eligible to donate if needed. If it’s a yes, then you’ll be directed to a page where you can request your swab kit online.Swab your cheecks, return your kit
• Swab the inside of your cheeks and send the swabs back to us (there are instructions on the envelope that will be sent). The swabs will then be analyzed in our lab to determine your HLA (tissue) characteristics – this is how we match donors and patients.
