Scope of organisation

Description

ASCOL is a private non-profit association that was founded in 1992. At that time, in the Haematology Department of the Hospital Clínico de Salamanca, the idea was maturing, and even more so the need, to have an association to help patients and their families affected by leukaemia or any other blood disease, to reach those areas where medicine and institutions could not reach. The idea and the need were clear, but we had to find someone who could implement it. At that time there were only eight of us, and with the impetus of the Haematology Department and especially of Doctor López Borrasca, on 18 July 1995 we set up the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit that bears his name.
