The Eastern Mediterranean Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EMBMT) Group was established in 2008 as a cooperative platform for physicians, scientists and healthcare workers from institutions in the WHO designated Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) with the goal of sharing experience, initiation of cooperative trials and establishing common strategy to achieve optimization in the field of HCT. The group's aim is to promote all aspects of patient care, academic and research activities associated with HCT in the region which includes knowledge of the trends, patterns and status of HCT in Eastern Mediterranean (EM) countries [54].

The registry has member centers from 14 countries in Gulf Cooperative Council, Levant, North Africa and Near East. These countries are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco [55].

The Head Office of the EMBMT is hosted at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The organization is active in holding periodic workshops focusing on data management, quality management and HCT‐related research in general. There is a very active collaboration between the institutions particularly in relation to patient care.
