Stem Cell Donation Kiosk is going to be organised on Nov 15th and Nov 16th at Fresh Choice, near Siripuram by DATRI NGO. DATRI Blood Stem Cell Donors Registry is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2009 with a vision to find a willing, HLA matched donor for patients of Indian origin suffering from fatal blood disorders like blood cancer (Leukemia, Lymphoma etc) and Thalassemia. A blood stem cell transplant is the last hope of survival of such kind of patients. Currently, DATRI is having India’s largest blood stem cell donors registry with 4,14,523 people registered as potential blood stem cell donors. With the support of these donors, DATRI has saved 627 lives till now. Its volunteer Ms. Kiranmai Srinija had informed VizagCityOnline that the purpose of the kiosk is to increase the number of potential stem cell donors as the chances of finding a match is 1 in 10000 to 1 in 2 million. More the number of people gets registered more are the chances to find a match. Ms. Kiran Mai is a Graduate in Psychology and worked with HSBC for two years. She came to know about DATRI during a camp organised at HSBC regarding registration of stem cell donors. She had also signed up as a stem cell Donor during that camp. Within two months span she was lucky enough to have found to be a match to a four year old kid who is suffering with Thalassemia. Inspite of all the odds, she had donated her stem cells at Chennai to the little boy. After meeting the CEO of DATRI and volunteering DATRI for an year and learning about the misconceptions and need of stem cell Donors she had given up her Job and associated with DATRI as a full timer. As per their statistics, currently at Vizag there are very less people who have registered as potential stem cell donors. So, now they are on a mission to expand the database of stem cell donors in Vizag.
