Center for Transplant Coordination

The year 2020 saw an adjustment in the transplant program organization, whereby the center was divided into the Documentation Center and the Center for Transplant Coordination that was attached to the Transplant Unit. Now, the center is staffed with 1 transplant coordinator and 2 data managers. The main task of the center is to coordinate the program of allogeneic transplants of hematopoietic stem cells. This entails a close cooperation with registries of voluntary donors (both Czech and foreign ones), as well as with clinical centers, the Apheresis Department and laboratories. We provide and collect all documents for a correct selection of suitable donors, communicate with health insurance companies and coordinate the fixing of dates related to the graft collection and transport. In 2020 we prepared and performed 82 transplants, namely 43 from related donors (of which 30 haplo) and 39 from unrelated donors.
