A blood stem cell donation awareness and donor registration drive will be organised here on April 30 under the aegis of DATRI Stem Cell Donor Registry in association with local volunteers. The drive will be held at the IMA Hall here.

Aby Sam John, the first blood stem cell donor and DATRI’s Kerala donor drive co-ordinator, will lead the awareness session. The drive is being conducted to promote blood stem cell donation, of which many people are not aware.

“Blood stem cell donation is a simple process that can save someone’s life. Blood stem cell transplant is the last hope for over 100 fatal blood disorders,” a press release said. Call 9744444487 or 9526763333 for details.
