Read the most important updates from the WMDA office and notifications to support global collaboration. WMDA strongly condemns the violence that is occurring in Israel and Gaza. We offer our sympathies to all those who are suffering because of this conflict. We extend our support to the donor registries and medical centres whose donors and patients are negatively affected by this crisis. On the homepage of WMDA Share, we will keep you posted on the operations of the Israelian registries. Information for Human Cell, Tissue, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P) - Establishments Regarding FDA's Determination that Zika Virus is no Longer a Relevant Communicable Disease Agent or Disease On the morning of May 21, 2024, the FDA announced that Zika Virus is no longer a relevant communicable disease agent or disease for HCT/Ps. As such, screening for risk of Zika Virus will no longer be required for cord blood donors, cord blood banking, or for manufacturing of cellular therapies derived from cord blood or birthing tissues. Travel to areas of the world where Zika Virus previously occurred will no longer be an exclusion for cord blood banking or for cord blood licensure. The change went into effect yesterday, May 20, 2024.

The case managers will evaluate each WU request individually to assess donor availability and the need for cryopreservation. Although most airlines cancelled their flight to and from Israel, Israeli airlines are still flying and have increased the number of flights. If your courier company is unable to provide your organization the service at this time, we can assist or you may contact Royale International directly at yehuda.shlezinger@royaleinternational.com Additionally, note that CT samples/ Pre-Collection samples are suffering some delay as FedEx is operating slightly different these days with changing flight itineraries.

We offer our sympathies to all those who are suffering because of these conflicts. We extend our support to the donor registries and medical centres whose donors and patients are negatively affected by these crises. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hadassah Registry continues to operate, but delays in communication might occur. Due to the political situation in Israel, less donors are available to donate, because many have been drafted to serve in the army. Also, donors might be unable to travel, impacting work-up requests. There are still flights, but less than usual. Hadassah recommends to use either Royale International or ICL as couriers for transport of stem cell products. |
