African Blood and Marrow Transplantation Group

In order to encourage activity in the medical and scientific field of blood and marrow transplantation in Africa, the African Blood and Marrow Transplantation Society (AfBMT) has been established with the support of the WBMT.
The main objectives are to improve awareness among health workers, to improve the skills of healthcare teams through sharing experiences, and adapt the knowledge and potential of HSCT therapy to local resources and needs.

WBMT support development in Africa

The road to further development of bone marrow transplantation in Africa still needs extensive work. Yet with the involvement of many stakeholders, more patients can get access to HSCT. International organizations including WBMT can provide impact in guidance, collaboration, and support.
