Recovery After Donating Bone Marrow

I am compelled to try to correct a deficiency I see relating to the federal government agency program: National Bone Marrow Program (NMBP), The government agency that oversees this program is Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration under Solicitation Number 06-N234-5506-AM, they awarded contract: Award date 09/25/2006 # HHSH234200637020C. .

After being a non related donor and a year after still trying to recover, I reviewed the contract language and feel they have not adequately plan for or prepare for medical complications. I believe this deficiency should be addressed to ensure future bone marrow donors will not be placed in a similar position thus allowing the federally funded program the ability to assist in this important life saving program.
