KEM Hospital to Establish Bone Marrow Transplant Center
KEM Hospital in Mumbai is going to build a new center for bone marrow transplants!
This is good news because it's the first public hospital in Mumbai to do this for both grown-ups and kids.
A bone marrow transplant helps people with damaged or sick bone marrow by replacing it with healthy cells.
The hospital will get money from companies and donations to pay for the treatments, making it more affordable.
The new center will take about a year to finish.
It's important because many patients need transplants for conditions beyond cancer, but it can be very expensive.
KEM Hospital received approval to establish a bone marrow transplant (BMT) center.
This will be the first public hospital in Mumbai to offer BMT for adults and children.
The center will be funded through corporate social responsibility contributions.
Construction is set to begin soon, with a one-year timeline to be operational.
The need for BMT extends beyond cancer, including conditions like aplastic anemia and sickle cell disease.
