A cancer survivor's successful transplant highlights the importance of expanding the donor pool. The survivor received a transplant from an unrelated donor in 2021. Efforts to increase registrations are gaining importance due to a growing need for transplants.
A non-profit registry has around three lakh potential donors registered across the country, but more are needed to improve match chances for patients.
Further details about the survivor's case and donor registration efforts are available, including the number of registered donors in certain regions.
