Bone marrow transplant is performed to treat blood diseases. It is a life-saving procedure, in this procedure, healthy stem cells are transplanted to replace the damaged or diseased bone marrow, and these stem cells develop into new blood cells. Stem cells are either taken from the patient’s own body or from a donor.
This procedure is used to treat various conditions, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, as well as genetic and other blood disorders. After a bone marrow transplant, the body begins producing blood again. Many major hospitals in India specialize in this treatment, offering patients a new ray of hope through this treatment.
Cost of bone marrow transplant (BMT) in India ranges from $15,000 to $38,000 USD depending on the type of transplant, location and hospital selection and post-transplant complications. This varies based on several factors:
Patient is required to stay in the hospital for 3 weeks post-transplant with a total stay of 2-4 months in India for close monitoring, infection prevention, immunosuppression management, GVHD surveillance, and post-transplant follow-up.
Success rate for bone marrow transplant varies by disease and transplant type, ranging from 60-90 percent to know the exact cost, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

A bone marrow transplant may be recommended for individuals with conditions that affect blood cell production or compromise immune system function. The following are common indications for this procedure:
Bone marrow transplants can be categorized into three main types:
Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant In this procedure, stem cells are collected from the patient’s own body before undergoing high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatment. These stem cells are preserved for storage through cryogenic freezing. Following the completion of intensive chemotherapy or radiation therapy, the stored stem cells are reinfused into the patient’s body to restore normal blood cell production. This approach is also referred to as a “rescue transplant” because it rescues the patient’s ability to produce healthy blood cells after aggressive cancer treatment.
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant In this procedure, stem cells are obtained from a donor whose genetic markers must closely match the patient’s Special compatibility tests, including human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing, are performed to determine whether a donor is suitable. Siblings often provide the best match, though parents, children, and other relatives may also be compatible donors. For patients without matched family donors, national and international bone marrow registries maintain databases of unrelated volunteer donors who may provide a suitable match.
Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant An umbilical cord blood transplant uses stem cells collected from a newborn baby’s umbilical cord immediately after birth. These stem cells are frozen and stored in cord blood banks until they are needed for transplantation. Because cord blood stem cells are immunologically immature and less developed, they require less precise matching between donor and recipient compared to adult stem cells. This makes it easier to find compatible donors, especially for patients from diverse ethnic backgrounds. However, cord blood contains fewer stem cells than other sources, so it takes longer for the patient’s blood counts to recover and return to normal levels after transplantation.
Other possible side effects that may occur during or following the stem cell infusion include:
These side effects are rare and typically mild. Should they occur, appropriate treatment will be provided as needed.
