Specialist Guide
What to Look for in a Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist
Sub-specialty focus
For Bone Marrow Transplant, seek a surgeon or physician with dedicated sub-specialty training — not a generalist. India's top hospitals have consultants who focus on one or two specific conditions.
Procedural volume
Ask how many procedures the specialist performs per year. Higher volume correlates with better outcomes in all surgical specialties.
International training
Many Indian specialists have completed fellowships at institutions like Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, or Royal Marsden. This matters for complex cases.
Published outcomes
Top specialists publish their outcomes data in peer-reviewed journals. Arodya can request outcome reports from hospital clinical teams before you decide.
Communication style
Your specialist should be willing to have a virtual consultation before you travel, review your reports in detail, and explain the plan clearly in English.

FAQs
Common Questions about Bone Marrow Transplant in India
How much does a bone marrow transplant cost in India?
An autologous BMT in India costs $18,000–$25,000; allogeneic BMT costs $25,000–$35,000 USD. This is 60–70% less than equivalent procedures in the USA ($100,000–$300,000).
How long do I need to stay in India for a bone marrow transplant?
BMT requires 2–4 months in India. Pre-transplant workup takes 2–3 weeks; the transplant and acute recovery phase takes 4–6 weeks in hospital; then 6–8 weeks of outpatient monitoring.
Is a family member needed as bone marrow donor?
For allogeneic transplants, a matched sibling donor is ideal. India has access to international donor registries for unrelated donor transplants when no family match is available.
