A stem cell transplant, also called a bone marrow transplant, is an advanced medical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased blood-forming stem cells with healthy stem cells. These healthy cells help restore normal blood production and support immune system recovery.

As a result, the body can:

• Regain its ability to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
• Rebuild and strengthen the immune system after intensive treatment.
• Improve long term survival and overall quality of life in patients with serious or life threatening blood disorders and cancers.

Depending on the patient’s diagnosis and treatment plan, doctors may use the patient’s own stem cells, which is known as an autologous transplant. Alternatively, doctors may use healthy stem cells from a compatible donor, called an allogeneic transplant. The choice of transplant depends on the type of disease, stage of illness, and overall health condition of the patient.

Our BMT program offers curative and supportive treatment for:

• Leukemias (acute and chronic)
• Lymphomas (Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s)
• Multiple Myeloma
• Aplastic Anemia
• Inherited blood disorders such as Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease
• Bone marrow failure syndromes
• Select solid tumors in children that benefit from high-dose chemotherapy followed by transplant

Both adult and pediatric patients are treated in our unit with personalized protocols.

• Dedicated Transplant ICU: Equipped with HEPA-filtered isolation rooms ensuring maximum infection control.
• Expert Team: Hemato-oncologists, transplant physicians, hemato-pathologists, oncology nurses, and critical care specialists work together to deliver safe and effective care.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Molecular testing, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), cytogenetics, and Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) monitoring guide every transplant decision.
• Comprehensive Supportive Care: Patients receive transfusion support, nutrition counseling, physiotherapy, infection prophylaxis, and psychological support throughout the process.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: Every case is reviewed by a tumor board and transplant committee to ensure the best outcomes.

• Pre-transplant Evaluation : Detailed diagnostic workup, infection screening, and counseling.
• Conditioning Therapy : High-dose chemotherapy (sometimes with radiation) to destroy diseased marrow and prepare the body for new stem cells.
• Stem Cell Infusion : Healthy stem cells are infused intravenously, similar to a blood transfusion.
• Engraftment & Recovery : The new cells begin producing healthy blood cells; this stage requires close monitoring in a protective environment.
• Post-transplant Care : Long-term follow-up for infection prevention, graft monitoring, relapse surveillance, and rehabilitation.

Recovery after transplant continues well beyond hospital discharge. Our team ensures:

• Regular monitoring of blood counts and organ function
• Early detection of complications such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
• Vaccination schedules for immune reconstitution
• Ongoing nutritional and psychological support for both patients and families
