For the first time, a Ukrainian woman became a bone marrow donor for a foreigner, and the bone marrow was transplanted to a patient of an Italian clinic, the Ministry of Health reported on its Telegram channel.
It is noted that the stem cells were taken at the National Children’s Specialized Hospital “Okhmatdyt”, and on the same day a special courier delivered them to a clinic in Italy, where the patient was waiting for them.
“This is the first time a Ukrainian donor has helped a foreign patient. Previously, Ukrainians have received help from donors from Germany, France, Turkey, Poland, India, and the United States,” the Health Ministry emphasizes.
