Bone Marrow Testing

There are men and women in the Jewish community in Sydney who need bone marrow transplants. Tissue typing is regionally and ethnically specific and so the liklihood of Jewish patients finding a match is highest within the Jewish population. A person who does not receive a transplant typically dies within two years.

You Can Help by Undergoing a Screening Test

The Screening test involves a small blood donation. If you are unsure of what this involves, you can find out more.
