BMT Hospital in India

Gleneagles Hospitals is a beacon of excellence as a pediatric and BMT hospital in India when it comes to world-class healthcare, offering cutting-edge medical solutions across various specialities. A proud and valuable member of the IHH Healthcare Network, we have branches in Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, ensuring access to our services across major metros. 

Gleneagles Hospital is known for the best practices in managing complicated haematological disorders and for carrying out bone marrow transplants (BMT) mostly on pediatric patients.

  • Leukemia and Lymphoma: These are the most common conditions for which children undergo bone marrow transplant. Gleneagles Hospitals provides comprehensive care, from diagnosis to post-transplant follow-up.
  • Aplastic Anemia: This is a serious condition in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells and often requires BMT to restore normal hematopoiesis.
  • Thalassemia: This genetic blood disorder, where there is excessive destruction of red blood cells, often requires periodic blood transfusions and, in most cases, a bone marrow transplant for long-term cure.
  • Sickle Cell Disease: Another genetic blood disorder, sickle cell disease can cause severe pain, organ damage, and other complications.
  • Other Genetic Blood Disorders: Conditions such as Fanconi Anemia, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, or immunodeficiencies may necessitate highly specialized haematology and transplant care, which the doctors at Gleneagles Hospitals are well-equipped to provide.

Treatments Offered

Gleneagles Hospitals uses a holistic approach to treatment that includes medical intervention as well as supportive therapy to achieve the best result in pediatric haematology and BMT patients.

  • Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT): This is among the principal treatments offered for children with severe blood conditions, including leukaemia, thalassemia, and aplastic anaemia. Gleneagles performs both autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplants-the transplantation of healthy bone marrow to replace the diseased marrow.
  • Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy: Chemotherapy is used to kill cancerous cells in patients suffering from leukaemia, lymphoma, and other forms of cancer. It is usually accompanied by radiation therapy to shrink tumours or otherwise prepare the body for bone marrow transplantation.
  • Immunotherapy: This treatment is used in the management of specific cancers and blood disorders, where immunotherapy at Gleneagles helps improve the body's immune system to fight against abnormal cells or infections. It is a new approach with fewer side effects as compared to chemotherapy.
  • Blood Transfusions and Stem Cell Therapy: Gleneagles performs advanced blood transfusion therapy to correct blood cell inadequacies in diseases like thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia. Stem cell therapy, more so in relation to BMT, replaces scarred or diseased marrow.
