Is there a bone marrow registry in Wallis and Futuna?

France’s registry signs people up online and posts its saliva kit to a French address, but on Oct 16, 2026 its 14 regional donor center listings named mainland departments and 971 to 974 only, none named Wallis and Futuna’s 986, and its site search for ‘Wallis’ found no result. [2, 3, 5, 6]

France’s social affairs and administration inspectorates reviewed Wallis and Futuna’s health agency in September 2025; their report, read on Oct 16, 2026, covers its hospitals, evacuations and finances and says nothing about marrow donation or stem cell transplants. [9]

Workers from Wallis and Futuna have moved to New Caledonia, and graduates to mainland France, since the 1970s and 1980s, the September 2025 inspection report says. In mainland France, people aged 18 to 35 can join France’s registry, but on Oct 16, 2026 none of its donor centers listed New Caledonia. [2, 4, 9]

Wallis and Futuna had 51 hospital beds in 2024, 42 at Sia hospital on Wallis and nine at Kaleveleve on Futuna, and seven hospital doctors, the inspection report says; specialists fly in from Nouméa or mainland France, and oncology advice comes by teleconsultation. [9]

In July 2018 Sylvain Brial, the deputy for Wallis and Futuna, asked France’s health minister to adapt access to transplants for the territory’s patients; the November 2019 reply said its hospitals aren’t authorized to retrieve or transplant organs, so patients wait on the national list in mainland France.
