the first time in Armenia's medical history a stem cell harvesting
procedure was performed successfully in Yerevan Thursday by the
Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry.
In an email message ABMDR president Dr. Frieda Jordan reported that

for the procedure, which she said was very successful. The stem cells
were transported to Belgium for a transplant procedure scheduled
for Friday. Jordan said the donor was well enough to return to his

in April and now we are seeing the fruits of our labor. Well done!"
