Contact Information: Yehudit Eitiel: yehudite@bmdr.org.il +972-52-9580059 WMDA strongly condemns the violence that is occurring in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------October 12, 2023 Information from Hadassah Registry on their operations: 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.Contact details: Ofra Elkouby: +972-545335540 |
