Donor Leave System-Backup from companies to promote bone marrow transplantation, etc.-

Problems associated with bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation

When providing bone marrow, etc., donors (donors) go to the hospital during the day on weekdays for advance examinations, etc., and hospitalization for several days is required for transplanting bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells. I have to take a break from work for these. For this reason, there have been cases in which even those who are registered as donors with the Japan Bone Marrow Bank decline the offer because they are not convenient for work.

What is the Donor Leave System?

The “donor leave system” refers to the leave taken for outpatient consultation and hospitalization, which is necessary to provide bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells as a donor, as one of the special leave instead of paid leave. It is to establish. In addition, even if you do not set up a new system, you can apply the case of providing bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells to existing “special leave” and “volunteer leave”.

Significance of the introduction of the donor leave system-To general affairs and personnel managers of companies and organizations-

The introduction of donor leave at the workplace makes it easier to take leave and greatly reduces the psychological and physical burden on donors. In addition, helping donors provide help to the lives of patients with many blood diseases, and is of great social significance. We ask each company to consider the development of the system. .
