On Wednesday, 16 April, the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia will be recruiting new donors for the Czech National Marrow Donor Registry (CNRDD). The event will take place from 10 am to 4 pm and is open to students, employees of UWB and the general public.

Enter: free
Intended for: students, employees, the public

A video by the father of a sick two-year-old girl, Madlenka, started people's interest in registering for the CNRDD. After posting his appeal on social media, a wave of support arose and thousands of people decided to join the registry in an effort to help and give hope not only to little Madlen, but also to other patients who are waiting for their donor.

Applicants must meet a few basic conditions: age between 18 and 35 (by the date of their 36th birthday), good health with no ongoing medication (exceptions are contraceptives and seasonal allergy medications), and a minimum weight of 50 kg. The registrant must be in perfect health. Any medical condition does not allow entry to the register.

How does enrolment in the register work?

The whole process is quick and painless:

  • You fill in a short health questionnaire, which you will receive at a marked place in the FAV UWB building.
  • You will swab your own oral cavity with two brushes - you will also receive these on site - and then place them in a marked envelope. Trained FAV students will be available to advise you on how to do this if necessary. You will hand in your samples at the marked location. 
  • You will then receive a thank you email informing you that you have been added to the donor database.

    You can easily get to the FAV by public transport - tram line 4 will take you directly to the faculty building at the stop Technická.
