A call for stem cell donors on World Bone Marrow Day

Each year, 19,000 Australians are diagnosed with blood cancer and about 1,000 of them approach the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry looking for a stem cell donor. The registry says Australia is facing a critical shortage of registered stem cell donors from all cultural backgrounds. Lisa Smith is the CEO of the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry. She spoke to SBS Macedonian's Ana Kotaleska.
