Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a life-saving procedure used to treat a range of blood cancers and severe blood disorders. The process involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, either from the patient (autologous transplant) or a compatible donor (allogeneic transplant). These healthy stem cells help regenerate the patient’s blood and immune system, offering a chance for long-term remission or even a cure.

Our bone marrow transplant program is led by a skilled team of haematologists, transplant physicians, and support staff who specialise in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. We use advanced matching techniques, cutting-edge conditioning regimens, and infection control protocols to improve success rates and minimise complications. Every patient is carefully evaluated and supported through every stage—from pre-transplant preparation to post-transplant recovery—with a focus on safety, comfort, and emotional well-being.

Who Needs a Bone Marrow Transplant

Bone marrow transplants are primarily recommended for patients whose bone marrow is no longer functioning properly or has been damaged by disease or intensive treatments.

Conditions Commonly Treated with BMT:

Leukaemia

Lymphoma

Multiple Myeloma

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)

Aplastic Anaemia

Severe Thalassemia

Sickle Cell Disease

Certain inherited immune system or metabolic disorders

A transplant is considered when the disease is high-risk, relapsed, or unresponsive to conventional treatments, or when it has the potential to be cured through replacement of diseased marrow with healthy stem cells.

Who Can Donate Stem Cells

Types of Donors:

Autologous Transplant (Self as Donor)

The patient’s own healthy stem cells are collected before receiving high-dose treatment.

Allogeneic Transplant (Donor Required)

Stem cells are sourced from:

Fully matched sibling

Unrelated Volunteer Registries

Haploidentical Donors

Umbilical Cord Blood (stored units)

Donor Eligibility:

Aged 18–50 years (typically)

In good health

No chronic infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, or cancers

Undergo HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) typing for compatibility
