National Marrow Awareness Month - November 2023

National Marrow Awareness Month is observed in November to acknowledge the achievements of transplant physicians. This month also honors the people who donate their stem cells and bone marrow which helps in giving patients a second chance at life. This month generates awareness about the importance of bone marrow transplants and encourages people to donate. Found inside the bones, marrow is a spongy material that contains stem cells. These cells eventually become white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. They have different important functions to keep the body healthy and strong. Patients with life-threatening diseases need these healthy stem cells to live a longer life. To obtain further information please go NATIONAL MARROW AWARENESS MONTH -November 2023 - National Today.
