Bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure that involves replacing a patient’s damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. This procedure is usually done to treat serious illnesses such as cancer, genetic disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
The bone marrow transplant can be of two types: autologous, where the patient’s own bone marrow stem cells are used, or allogeneic, where stem cells are obtained from a donor. Sri Aurobindo Hospital in Indore became the first hospital to perform a bone marrow transplant in 2015. The hospital now offers advanced bone marrow transplant facilities to patients under one roof.
