The World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) is working closely with other international organizations working in cellular therapy such as the Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) to develop and maintain global recommendations and requirements for a standardized practice. WMDA launched its registry accreditation program in September 2003. Since then, 17 of the 71 hematopoietic stem cell donor registries worldwide have been accredited. These accredited registries list over 80% of the hematopoietic stem cell donors and umbilical cord blood units listed in the database of BM Donors Worldwide. The goal of the WMDA Standards and Accreditation process is to protect donors while serving the needs of patients who are urgently seeking histocompatible donors in worldwide searches. These activities address the increasing governmental regulations regarding the quality and safety of stem cells collected internationally for national patients.
世界骨髓捐献者协会(WMDA)正在与其他从事细胞疗法的国际组织密切合作,如全球血液和骨髓移植网络(WBMT),以制定和维护全球标准化实践的建议和要求。WMDA 于 2003 年 9 月启动了其注册认证计划。自那时以来,全球 71 个造血干细胞供者登记处中有 17 个获得了认证。这些经过认证的登记处列出了全球骨髓捐献者数据库中列出的 80%以上的造血干细胞供者和脐带血单位。WMDA 标准和认证流程的目标是在保护供者的同时,满足全球搜索中迫切需要组织相容性供者的患者的需求。这些活动涉及到越来越多的关于为国家患者在国际上采集的干细胞的质量和安全性的政府法规。
