Blood & Marrow Transplant

The Department of Blood & Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapies offers high-quality specialised care to adults and children affected with life-threatening blood disorders. The unit is equipped with ultra-modern infrastructure, internationally trained clinical experts, and is supported by state-of-the-art laboratory and transfusion services.

Bone marrow is the soft, spongy material found within the bones where the blood cells are made. Bone marrow contains immature stem cells that can develop into any type of blood cell.

White Blood Cells – Also known as leukocytes, these form a vital part of our immune system and help fight infections.
Red Blood Cells – Also known as erythrocytes, these contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen throughout the body.
Platelets – Also known as thrombocytes, these help in blood clot formation and prevent excessive bleeding.
