Salman's Being Human aims to save lives through healthcare initiatives

The Being Human Foundation has partnered with Marrow Donor Registry India (MDRI) to create a world - class registry of marrow donors in India for patients who have blood-related illnesses like leukemia, thalessemia, a plastic anemia and congenital immunodeficiency states.
MDRI was set up in 2008 as an NGO at the Tata Memorial Centre with the sole purpose of creating a registry of committed, voluntary and unrelated donors for those patients requiring bone marrow transplantation and without an HLA- matched donor within their families. People from the age group of 18-50 years are eligible for donor recruitment. 
For now students are encouraged to step forward to volunteer to give someone a tomorrow -Just 10 ml of your blood could save a life.
