Japan In Need of Bone Marrow For Transplants

[Guest guest]

Over 500 bone marrow transplant centres across Europe have been asked to be on

standby to treat victims of radiation exposure from Japan's earthquake- and

tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. News agency AFP reported that

the appeal came on Tuesday from the European Group for Blood and Marrow

Transplantation (EBMT) which has headquarters in Barcelona, Spain.

EBMT contacted all its 536 centres by email, asking them if they would be able

to treat patients suffering from radiation exposure. Across its member centres,

the EBMT has about 2,500 specialist doctors who can treat people with bone

marrow problems.
