Country’s largest bone marrow transplant centre in Jaipur soon

Jaipur will soon have the country’s largest bone marrow transplant centre with at least 50 beds. The centre is under development at the State Cancer Institute. The project will likely be operational by the end of 2023. At present, there is a 2-bed centre at SMS Hospital in Jaipur; however, due to the lack of manpower and resources, the facilities are inadequate and there is a huge waiting list. Patients usually have to wait for over a year for a transplant. “Bone marrow transplant is more effective for blood cancer patients than medication. So hopefully, more patients will be able to benefit after the launch of the centre,” said a State Cancer Institute official.
