Informational and Sample Collection Event for the Bone Marrow Donor Registry

The Medical Division of the National Technical University of Athens, in collaboration with the Choose Life Foundation, held on Tuesday, November 25, at the Multimedia Amphitheater, a particularly warm and encouraging informational event about bone marrow donation.

The event included a briefing on the procedure for registering in the global pool of volunteer donors, as well as on the steps followed in the event a compatible recipient is found. An open discussion with the audience followed, further strengthening the atmosphere of trust and awareness.

Particularly moving were the personal testimonies of a volunteer donor and an NTUA student who had been diagnosed with leukemia, underwent a transplant, and is now healthy—one of the 42 people who have benefited thanks to the actions of Choose Life. After the speeches, those interested had the opportunity to register as volunteer donors.
