About Tobias Registry

The Swedish registry of potential stem cell donors was established in 1992 and named the Tobias Registry in memory of Tobias who died of a blood disorder on 30 December 1991 at age 17. Finding Tobias a donor with suitable stem cells had not been possible. The Tobias Registry is administered by Stockholm Care AB which belongs to the Stockholm County Council. Some 500 stem cell transplantations have been performed thanks to the Tobias Registry, giving all these gravely ill patients the chance of recovery. The Tobias Registry lists about 40,000 individuals who have registered as potential donors. The Tobias Registry is one of many registries worldwide. More than twelve million tissue typed / HLA typed individuals are listed in these registries.

To register as a donor, you should be between 18-30 years of age and entirely healthy. This age group is missing from the Registry. If you are between 31 - 59 and still want to join, please contact Tobias Registret, 08-585 81 381. You have to live and be registered in Sweden.
