Is bone marrow transplant at Apollo Hospitals safe, and how do outcomes compare internationally?
Apollo's BMT centres are JCI and NABH accredited, and the programme is registered with CIBMTR (USA), the international body that benchmarks transplant outcomes globally.
Overall success rates are 90%+, with autologous BMT achieving 70% to 90% and allogeneic BMT 60% to 80%, consistent with international benchmarks. The paediatric programme reports over 80% cure rates for childhood leukaemia and up to 90% for thalassaemia with matched sibling donors.
What if I have no matching donor at home? Can Apollo still treat me?
Yes. Apollo offers haploidentical transplants using a parent, child, or 50% matched sibling as the donor, meaning most patients have an available donor immediately. Unrelated matched donors are accessed through national registries for allogeneic cases. Cord blood transplant is available for paediatric patients.
Apollo has developed specific haploidentical protocols for sickle cell disease patients with strong outcomes. The transplant team initiates HLA typing and donor evaluation before you arrive.
