Platelets Donation
Our platelet donation clinics are in Dublin and Cork. Platelets are used in the treatment of cancer and leukemic patients, bone marrow transplant, new born babies and burns victims. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service provides life-saving platelets to all of the hospitals in Ireland. Due to the rising number of cancer diagnosis in the country, there is always a need for platelet donors. There are just 2,400 Irish platelet donors and we are looking for new donors to join the panel.
Bone Marrow
For more than 80 diseases and disorders, a stem cell transplant can be a treatment option. The Irish Unrelated Bone Marrow Registry is determined to help patients in find a life-saving unrelated donor. Every person who registers gives a patient in need a better chance of finding their life-saving match. It is important to understand what is involved in the process, including the commitment required. Find all the information you need here!
