{Abstract}: Since 2010 there has been an exponential increase of the number of transplants performed from related donors. The development of haploidentical transplants increases the resort to related-donation, which presents two main advantages: a less important financial cost and a faster availability of the graft. Standards for mandatory accreditation exist, but the adherence to these recommendations is not optimal: currently, different practices regarding the organizational modalities of care, recruitment criteria, qualification and follow-up of related donors have been observed among French transplant centers. The Francophone Society of Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) has developed guidelines for the consent and the non-eligibility criteria for hematopoietic stem cell donors. A multidisciplinary group has devised a booklet as a medium to inform donors about hematopoietic cell donation and transplantation in a clear and accessible language. This paper provides recommendations on post-donation follow-up, taking into account both medical standards and organizational constraints of French centers. Some tools are proposed.
