Can my hospital perform a transplant using a donor or cord blood unit identified through the NMDP?
When a matching donor or cord blood unit is identified through the NMDP, the transplant must be done at a hospital that has established a formal relationship with the NMDP. An NMDP transplant center is a hospital that has a transplant team with many years of experience in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and that meets and maintains specific quality criteria described in Transplant Center Participation Criteria (PDF) and NMDP Standards. For more information about becoming an NMDP transplant center, contact the NMDP at membership@nmdp.org.
