OneMatch
Stem Cell and Marrow Network is responsible for finding andmatching
volunteer donors for patients who require stem cell transplants. Fewer
than 30 per cent of patients who need stem cell transplants find a
compatible donor within their own families. The rest rely on those who
have volunteered to donate stem cells to anyone in need. OneMatch
maintains a database of tissue typing results of all Canadian
prospective donors. Whenever a patient requires a stem cell transplant,
OneMatch is able to search this database to identify potential matching
donors.

The
Canadian Association of Physicians of Indian Heritage (CAPIH) was duly
constituted and incorporated on November 2, 2005. One out of every ten
practicing physicians in Canada as well as south of the border can trace
their lineage to the sub-continent of India dating back to the 20th
century. Physicians of Indian Heritage have made significant
contributions to the delivery of health care in Canada. The Indian
Heritage emphasizes excellence, tolerance, compassion for the
disadvantaged, mutual respect and celebration of cultural diversity.
The Canadian Association of Physicians of Indian Heritage was formed to
provide a forum for them to foster and promote these values through the
activities of the Association, to maintain the identity of this group of
people and to provide a forum for scientific, educational, cultural,
charitable and social interaction among the ‘Association’ members.
