Blood Cancer clock is ticking- Every 5 minutes someone in India is diagnosed with blood cancer or a blood disorder such as Thalassemia or Aplastic Anemia.
Over 100,000 Indians are affected by blood cancer each year. Despite this huge cancer burden, In India, only 0.09% of the total population is registered as a potential blood stem cell donor. While blood cancer is life-threatening, a set of healthy blood stem cells from a matching donor can be life-saving. The demand and supply gap is increasing as there aren’t enough registered potential blood stem cell donors due to a lack of awareness.
