Memorial Centre said, "For many suffering from fatal blood disorders like blood cancer and Thalassemia, a blood stem cell transplant is the only hope of survival." He further
added, "Till date, 13 patients from Tata Medical Center have found their life-saving donors from DATRI. However, we still have a large number of patients who are still waiting for a
matched blood stem cell donor. More donors have to come forward and register themselves." Kolkata or cultural capital of India, as it is better known, is currently home to over 5

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_populous_metropoli tan_areas_in_India ] in India. However, it is appalling that only 5000 donors are registered with DATRI as potential blood stem
cell donors till date. These numbers are very less compared to other cities in the country. This definitely calls for more awareness in the city on the importance of saving lives through
blood stem cell donation for blood cancer patients. more PRNewswire GSV 02231758 NNNN (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency
