Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova addressed participants of the donor movement with a video greeting on World Bone Marrow Donor Day.
Dear friends!
Video greeting from Tatyana Golikova to participants of the donor movement on World Bone Marrow Donor Day
On behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation and on my own behalf, I congratulate all participants in the donor movement on World Bone Marrow Donor Day.
In our country, more than a thousand patients require unrelated bone marrow transplantation every year.
On September 1, 2022, on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Federal Registry of Bone Marrow and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors began operating. The authority to maintain and develop the registry has been assigned to the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, which has extensive experience and expertise in this area.
With the support of the Government, funding has been increased for the typing of donors entering the register to timely expand the donor base. This has led to significant results. Thus, if in 2021 it was possible to provide bone marrow transplantation only to every second patient and doctors were forced to search for a donor in international databases, then by the end of 2023 we have already reached 75% of unrelated transplants from Russian donors.
Since 2024, federal funding has provided for the full cycle of work – from donor recruitment to bone marrow procurement.
In addition, the Government has initiated the issue and, since 2024, federal funding has been provided for the search for donors from international registries and the import of donor bone marrow into Russia, which completely removes the issue of providing our citizens with transplant material.
Thanks to the availability of information about bone marrow donation, citizens are actively joining the registry in all regions of the country. There are now more than 400 thousand donors in it. And their number is increasing every day.
I sincerely thank all donors of Russia and the world. Your mercy inspires, your noble act gives a chance for life to seriously ill patients, including children.
I would especially like to note that donation unites complete strangers, groups, charitable organizations, volunteers, representatives of government and commercial structures and gives everyone the opportunity to show compassion and solidarity.
I also congratulate the blood service specialists, volunteers, and partners of the donor movement. You are doing a great job by telling about the importance of bone marrow donation and involving others in this good mission.
Let the donor movement continue to develop successfully, making a significant contribution to the health and well-being of the citizens of our country. Happy holiday!
