The Karaiskakio Foundation is a non-profit organisation established to organise The Cyprus Bone Marrow and Platelet Donor Registry.
The mass donor drive for young leukemia sufferer Andreas Vassiliou helped raise the total number of blood samples in the foundation's lab from 6000 to nearly 80,000. Currently Cyprus ranks first in the world in the number of bone marrow donors per head of population.
Given the Herculean task of processing so many donors and their samples the foundation came up trumps. However, they then faced a new challenge. How to search this information quickly and reliably to find potential donors for new leukemia patients. Their existing system was judged unable to meet the requirement. Therefore, they looked to see what the other longer established registries around the world were doing to tackle the same problem. After reflection and consultation with other registries the decision was taken to adopt the software system, named SOLAR, authored and developed by CDP and successfully used by the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust (ANBMT) in London and Armenian Bone Marrow Registry, Armenia.
The task of rolling out the software for the Karaiskakio foundation was taken up by CDP. To offer total customer satisfaction, CDP dispatched a member of staff to Nicosia Cyprus to help roll out the SOLAR software system.
