Register in the bone marrow donor database! We are waiting for you in Olivia Star

Each of us can save someone’s life. Truly! We invite you to Olivia Business Centre on May 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Together with DKMS, we register donors. It doesn’t take much time, it doesn’t require any tests, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t involve any complicated procedure (not complicated either). Together we can do more!

See how easy it is. You don’t even have to go to the post office, because all the declarations you fill out will go to DKMS straight from Olivia!

Who can become a donor?

  • every healthy person between 18 and 55 years of age,
  • weighing more than 50 kg;
  • who are not significantly overweight.

All you need to do is sign up and be aware of your commitment.

Every registered person is extremely valuable.

There are currently over a million registered donors in the DKMS Polska database, but new ones are still needed, because as many as one in five patients does not find their donor. Why? Our genotype is very diverse. The chances of finding a “genetic twin” (a person whose histocompatibility antigens are the same as ours) are very low. The probability is 1:20,000, and in a rare genotype even 1 in several million. That is why it is so important that as many people as possible register as potential donors.

Meet Piotr from Energi, bone marrow donor.

During the Bone Marrow Donor Day at Olivia Business Centre, you will be able to meet Piotr from Energa, a bone marrow donor for Ali, whom you may have met in the elevator or on our patio. You can ask him any questions you may have about being a donor, Piotr will certainly help to dispel any doubts. After all, this is information from the first source:). In the lobby of the Star there is a very intimate place, where at 10:00 and 14:00 Piotr will be waiting for everyone who wants to meet him.

Take a look at what Ala and Piotr’s potential donors have to say about the Heroes:

 

Do you need to think for a moment? No problem!

It will only take a few minutes to register with Olivia. However, if you need a longer moment to think, no problem. The registration package can be ordered online, as well as filling out a form with personal data. You can find more information here. From the submitted sample, histocompatibility antigen typing is performed. The results of the test, along with the data from the form, are entered into the Stem Cell Donor database, and you receive a potential bone marrow donor card. The process takes approx. 2-3 months. You can also register online.

We cordially invite you to Olivia:)

Volunteers will be waiting for you in the lobby of Olivia Star. We have prepared 10 registration desks for you. See you there!

THANK YOU!
