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.
