Swab to be a lifesaver. This was the motto and at the same time a matter of the heart for BRANOpac this week. For some time, the company located in the middle of Germany has supported the DKMS - German Bone Marrow Donor Center - with regular donations and typification campaigns. The organization has been dedicated to the fight against blood cancer for years and has helped many blood cancer patients to find a suitable stem cell donor.
Every 15 minutes, a person in Germany is diagnosed with blood cancer. Often a stem cell donation is the only way to fight the disease. Only one third of all diseased patients find a suitable donor within the family, the majority needs an unrelated donor. Still every 10th patient in Germany does not find a suitable donor. That's why so many volunteer stem cell donors are needed and why every dollar counts.
With a typification, all those who are not yet registered can register as potential donors and thus become potential lifesavers. Such a typification campaign took place in December in the premises of BRANOpac and all employees had the opportunity to register in a simple and fast process.
In addition to the typification, the company donates the money that would otherwise be spent on Christmas presents to partners and customers of the company to the DKMS.
