Peru’s Ministry of Health said in Oct 2024 that ReD-CPH had more than 81,000 potential donors. [2]

On Oct 11, 2026, WMDA’s organization database listed the registry of Peru’s Ministry of Health as a member with search access whose Search & Match listing was still in preparation, so ReD-CPH donors can’t yet be found from other countries. [6]

ReD-CPH grew from 32,912 donors in Dec 2019, 32,085 of them in Lima, Andina reported, to 81,839 potential donors in Sep 2023, Caretas reported, citing Peru’s Ministry of Health. [11, 12]

Peru’s Ministry of Health was on the program of WMDA’s meeting of Latin American registries on Mar 21, 2026, presenting how its national stem cell transplant program and donor registry are organized and what they do. [10]

Andina reported in Sep 2021 that Peru’s Ministry of Health had signed up new volunteers at a drive in Miraflores, run with the district’s municipality, when ReD-CPH had 53,000 people against a goal of 80,000. [13]

Caretas reported in Sep 2023, citing Peru’s Ministry of Health, that 313 bone marrow transplants were done in Peru in 2022, and that of about 600 patients a year who need one, eight in ten have no matching relative. [12]

Peru’s Ministry of Health said on Oct 14, 2026 that 233 bone marrow transplants had been done in Peru so far that year; in September it named INEN, the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño San Borja and the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo as the ministry hospitals that do them. [3, 5]

INEN, Peru’s national cancer institute, had done its 1,000th bone marrow transplant, Peru’s Ministry of Health said on Jul 1, 2026; INEN’s transplant program began in 2012 and now does more than 100 transplants a year for children and adults. [4]
