Official websiteCommon questions before travelling for treatment in India
These answers explain coordination, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Your specialist determines clinical care after assessment.
What is the difference between autologous and allogeneic BMT?
Autologous BMT uses the patient's own stem cells, whereas allogeneic BMT uses stem cells from a matched sibling or haploidentical family donor.
Should HLA typing be done before travelling to India?
If high-resolution HLA typing is available locally, share it for pre-review; otherwise it can be performed at the hospital in India.
How long is the total stay in India for a Bone Marrow Transplant?
Typically 8 to 12 weeks in total, including conditioning, stay in a HEPA-filtered BMT unit, and close outpatient monitoring.
What discounts apply to hematology and BMT patients?
10% off the procedure cost at contracted hospitals, 50% off prescribed hemato-oncology medicines supplied by us, and free medical translation.
