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. There is always a need for platelet donors.
The Irish Unrelated Bone Marrow Registry helps patients to find a matching life-saving donor. A stem cell transplant can be a treatment option for more than 80 diseases and disorders. Every person who registers gives a patient in need a better chance of finding their match.
Watch and read about our exciting national campaigns that put donors at the centre of promoting blood donation - because they know the incredible difference their actions make
