At the initiative of the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) charitable foundation, a volunteer bone marrow registration was conducted among the Armenians living in Georgia.  

Armenian NGO’s functioning in capital city Tbilisi, Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and Armenia’s Embassy in Georgia took part in this process.     

The objective of this event was to expand the ABMDR databank, owing to which compatible donors are found and healthy stem cells are transplanted into the bodies of Armenians who suffer from leukemia and malignant blood diseases. 

The diplomatic corps and staff of Armenia’s Embassy led by Ambassador Hovhannes Manukyan as well as great many number of Armenian clergy members and community representatives took active part in the voluntary registration.
