## TL;DR

Quebec's own register of volunteer stem cell donors, run by Héma-Québec, the province's blood service. People aged 18 to 35 in good health can join.

## Summary

Héma-Québec, created in 1998 to collect and distribute blood products in Quebec, runs the province's Stem Cell Donor Registry. People between 18 and 35 years old, in good health and willing to donate to whoever needs them can join. Its pages explain that a patient's siblings are checked first and the registry is searched for a matched unrelated donor when no family member matches, and that a registry reflecting the population's diversity raises everyone's chance of a match.
