Transport

Once the date of collection is confirmed, the DKMS case manager sends a form to the respective registry or transplant center to fill in the required information.

Transport Arrangements to be made by International Registries and Transplant Centers

For international transport arrangements, the applicable DKMS or WMDA forms must be submitted.

DKMS needs to be informed about the following information:

Name of the courier
Courier´s date of birth
Passport number including expiration date
24/7 mobile phone number of the registry or Transplant Center
Date and time of arrival at the location of the collection center including the name of the hotel and a travel plan containing all transport information

Transport Arrangements to be made by DKMS

DKMS can organize the stem cell courier on behalf of the transplant center. This service is charged in addition. In case the transplant center asks DKMS to provide a courier, DKMS contacts a courier company to arrange the transport of the HSC / MNC product. The courier company forwards all relevant information about the courier including a main and an alternative travel plan to DKMS. These courier details are sent to the respective registry or transplant center. They may provide DKMS with additional forms that need to be forwarded to the courier in charge.
