Stem Cell Donor Registry

Héma-Québec is responsible for recruiting and qualifying donors and for managing the Stem Cell Donor Registry for Quebec. Its services include coordinating all the steps associated with the demand for stem cells, from research to transplantation.


With over 10,000 cord blood units banked and over 60,000 registrants who are likely consent to a donation, Héma-Québec is in an excellent position to meet the needs of transplant centres. Its registry is certified as meeting the highest international standards and is part of the global network of the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA), under the code ION-6912.

From May 19 to 22, 2025, take part in the 15ᵗʰ edition of the International Donor Registry Conference (IDRC)!
