Bone Marrow Transplant
Introduction
The Bone Marrow Transplant is the only curative option for many benign and malignant blood disorders like Thalassemia, Aplastic Anemia and high-risk Acute leukemia. The Department of Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant at PKLI&RC is planned to be one of the largest in the country with the capacity to perform more than 120 transplants per year. It is a state-of-the-art facility with patient isolation rooms meeting International hygienic standards. These standards are maintained by high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and vigorous monitoring of the controlled environment. A fully functioning stem cell collection and processing unit, a molecular hematology lab, and a high-volume blood bank with component preparation and NAT screening facilities accompany the department. Comprehensive transplant immunology services are available in-house. We have a dedicated team of qualified bone marrow transplant physicians, offering autologous and allogenic bone marrow transplants to adult and pediatric patients with a variety of hematologic diseases. The supporting and technical staff meets high standards of knowledge and skills. Along with BMT, we offer comprehensive diagnostic and management services in the fields of General Hematology and adult and pediatric Hem-oncology. The department is planned to evolve with the field and acquire facilities for CAR-T cells and other cellular therapies.
