One Match
In Canada OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network is responsible for
finding and matching volunteer donors for patients who require stem
cell transplants. Fewer than 30 per cent of patients who need stem
cell transplants find a compatible donor within their own families.
The rest rely on those who have volunteered to donate stem cells to anyone in need.
