Goals and activities of the WMDA. World Marrow Donor Association.
The World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) has the goal to facilitate reliable transfer of bone marrow and other forms of hematopoietic stem cells from one country to another, to promote exchange of information internationally about how to identify suitable donors and to protect the welfare and safety of the donor. It establishes guidelines on standards, ethics and other issues related to the goal of the WMDA. Full voting organisational members are those who deal directly with the donors and the logistics of hematopoietic stem cell transfer internationally for transplantation. Other members are non-voting organisational members and individual corresponding members (general members). They are working on, or interested in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or science in the field. In order to execute its task, WMDA has several working groups that make proposals to the Board that takes decisions related to WMDA goals.
