Dear Chloe, there are registries worldwide and they all combine to form an international database. There is a Malaysian stem cell registry, I believe their website is: http://www.dermaorgan.gov.my/daftar-sel-stem-malaysia-mscr/
If you have a chance to read it over and see how to sign up, that would be fantastic!!!

Once you get screened then you will be in the world database, and Ally’s doctors will frequently check to see if anyone matches. Fingers crossed, and thank you!!!!

I am a Korean-American student living in Seoul. I would love to screen and register but I still have trouble reading Korean and the Korean websites aren’t very clear as to where I can go to register. Is there any English foreigner-friendly places where I can go?

Dear Xiafan, thank you so much for wanting to help Ally! In Korea, the main marrow registry is KMDP and they have an English website:

Also, we will be starting activity in Korea soon, with screening events all around Seoul, keep watching the webpage!
Otherwise, an American, you could order a kit from one of the US organisations to a US address if you go back and forth. All the databases are linked, so if you get screened in 1 country, other countries can still check for matches. Thank you again!!!!
