Scope of organisation

BLOOD CANCER support organisation (non-CLL-specific)

Description

The DKMS is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to the fight against blood cancer. It was founded in Germany in 1991 by Dr. Peter Harf and since then, with over 1,000 employees, has pursued the goal of giving as many people as possible a second chance at life.

With more than 11 million registered life donors, we have already succeeded in doing this more than 95,000 times through the procurement of stem cell donations. This makes us the world leader in providing patients with stem cell transplants.
