For our Muslims friends, the Islamic Religious Council has issued a Fatwa giving approval for all Muslims to be bone marrow donors and help save the lives of patients.
Your tissue type has to match perfectly with that of the patient’s, with the odds at a staggering 1 in 20,000. It all depends on the rarity of the patient’s tissue type. However, once you’re identified as a compatible donor, you may be the only person who can provide the life-saving bone marrow to that patient.
No you don’t. You’ll be reimbursed for all expenses relating to the donation, including travel expenses or unpaid leave, although most employers are very supportive and will allow you additional time for medical check-ups.
After the donation, you’ll be given 2 to 3 days of medical leave, so you get adequate rest. Throughout the whole process, our BMDP Donor Centre Coordinator will assist you to set up appointments, answer your questions and be your liaison.
