Description 

Finding an unrelated donor on the Be The Match Registry® isn’t enough for our transplant center partners. That donor also needs to be available when called

This webinar offers insights into the strategies and initiatives the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP)/Be The Match® has implemented to try to improve donor availability so the best donor for your patient is ready to say yes when you need them

The NMDP/Be The Match panelists focus on the donor’s journey pre-match—from recruitment and waiting for the call to donate—and post-match, including CT, workup and cell collection.
