North-West University Joins DKMS Africa to Save Lives

Ayyub and Abu-Taalib, two young patients diagnosed by NWU’s Centre for Human Metabolomics, faced the life-threatening blood disorder Adrenoleukodystrophy, requiring stem cell transplants. While they were in the need for donors, countless other patients with blood cancer and blood disorders are still searching for matching donors.

NWU’s Centre for Human Metabolomics played a critical role in diagnosing these patients, highlighting the importance of stem cell donations in saving lives. To continue this mission, NWU is hosting a virtual donor drive in collaboration with DKMS Africa, encouraging students, alumni, and staff to register as potential life-saving donors.

By registering, you could provide hope for patients like Ayyub and Abu-Taalib and so many others who are still waiting for a matching donor. The process is simple, but the impact could be life-changing for someone in need of a transplant. Join us and be the match that offers a second chance at life.

Let's continue giving hope to those still fighting for a second chance at life. Register Today.

Remember, all costs related to the registration until the donation process are taken care of by DKMS Africa.
