A stem cell transplant (commonly known as a bone marrow transplant) is a procedure in which damaged or diseased blood-forming stem cells are replaced with healthy ones. These new cells enable the body to:

• Regain its natural ability to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
• Rebuild and strengthen the immune system
• Improve long-term survival and quality of life in patients with otherwise life-threatening conditions

Transplants can be performed using the patient’s own cells (autologous transplant) or donor cells (allogeneic transplant), depending on the medical condition and treatment plan.

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
