Dr. Hamidieh also emphasized the committee support for setting up of registries in provinces and stated, "Currently 4 new requests from Tabriz, Sari, Kerman and Yazd have been received for joining national stem cell donor network which is under evaluations according to regulations approved by ministry of health and medical education".
These registries are centers for recruitment, education, HLA typing and holding donors information so when necessary patients with no related matched donors can benefit from un-related donors.
