Regular Stool Donor Program
Faculty of Medicine, CUHK is now recruiting stool donors for Intestinal Microbiota Transplant (IMT). IMT is a novel way to treat different diseases via infusion of special processed fecal solution from healthy donors to affected subjects, especially in patients diagnosed with Clostridium difficile infection. Research have also shown IMT is able to heal several other medical conditions. Intestinal microbiota is sourced from stool of healthy individuals so your stool sample is previous!
Safety of IMT is of paramount importance. Stool donors are required to pass specific screening criteria. You will be invited for a simple interview and undergo a series of biosamples (including some blood and stool) tests if you are found potentially eligible. If you are pass the tests and able to donate stool regularly in Prince of Wales Hospital, you are qualified to be one of our stool donors. For regular donors, you will receive HKD$100 travel allowance for each donation. Apart from that, additional monetary incentives will be given according to the weekly quantity of stool donation. In total, donors can receive a maximum of HKD$7,000 per month.
We will contact eligible individuals within one week of your application. Applicants not contacted by our staff can be considered NOT passing the initial screening.
