Is there a bone marrow registry in the Comoros?

Comorian children with cancer are often treated in Réunion, a 2021 report said. [9]

Masiwa reported in July 2023 that emergency care at El-Maarouf hospital in Moroni, the Comoros, was overwhelmed every day, and that one patient had been evacuated to Réunion for radiotherapy. [12]

A March 2011 report for France’s development agency, AFD, found that most foreign patients treated in Réunion’s hospitals came from the Union of the Comoros, arriving through medical evacuations via Mayotte. [10]

We couldn’t open Comoros health ministry’s website when we tried on Oct 11, 2026. That tells us nothing about whether it offers a way to join.

South Africa’s two registries don’t take people living in the Comoros: on Oct 11, 2026, DKMS Africa’s form asked first whether you live in South Africa, and SABMR excluded anyone not living there. DKMS Africa takes other nationals only after 18 months living in South Africa. [1, 2, 3]

At the CHU in Saint-Denis, an educator from Mayotte who speaks the Comorian languages helps families from the Comoros through a child’s cancer treatment, and France’s state medical aid covers a foreign child’s care from arrival until the return home, the service’s head wrote in 2021. [9]

The Comoros has announced a new national hospital, not a donor registry: La Gazette des Comores reported on Oct 9, 2025 that the new El-Maarouf university hospital in Moroni, with nearly 600 beds and World Bank support through the Compass project, was finished but closed, after openings announced for December 2024 and July 2025.
