| Surgery Name | Cost | Room | Hospitalization |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allogeneic BMT - Matched Sibling Donor | 28000 USD | BMT Isolation Unit | 4-5 Weeks |
| Detailed Evaluation & Diagnostic Work-up | 2000 USD | OPD / Day Care | 2-3 Days |
Room tariff for the specified period, professional fees of the treating haemato-oncologist and BMT team, conditioning chemotherapy, donor stem cell infusion, routine nursing and BMT-unit isolation care, and basic laboratory and imaging investigations directly related to the transplant.
Stay beyond the estimated package days, treatment of pre-existing or unrelated illnesses, donor search fees through international registries, high-value or specialty medications and blood products used beyond standard protocol, post-discharge outpatient follow-up, and any complications requiring ICU care.
Aplastic anemia is a rare blood disorder in which the bone marrow slows down or stops producing enough new blood cells, leading to persistent fatigue, a higher risk of infection and abnormal bleeding or bruising. When the condition is severe, medication alone is often not enough, and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) becomes the recommended curative treatment.
It is a bone marrow failure condition where the marrow does not produce sufficient red cells, white cells and platelets, resulting in anemia, infection risk and bleeding tendencies.
Patients with severe or very severe aplastic anemia, particularly younger patients with a suitable matched donor available, are generally advised to undergo an allogeneic BMT rather than relying on supportive treatment alone.
An HLA-matched sibling is the preferred donor. Parents and other close relatives can also be tested for a match, and when no family donor is available, a search through national or international unrelated-donor registries is undertaken.
Detailed evaluation and diagnostic work-up: around USD 2,000. Allogeneic bone marrow transplant with a matched sibling donor: around USD 28,000. Actual costs vary with donor type, complications and length of stay, and a final estimate is issued only after the treating specialist examines the patient's reports and, where possible, the patient in person.
Hospitalisation for the transplant itself typically runs 4 to 5 weeks in the BMT unit, with an additional recovery period in India generally recommended before travelling home.
With a well-matched sibling donor, allogeneic BMT for aplastic anemia offers good long-term outcomes, particularly when performed early in younger patients.
What is the estimated cost of aplastic anemia treatment in India?
Initial evaluation costs approximately USD 2,000, and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant with a matched sibling donor costs approximately USD 28,000; the final figure depends on the donor type and the patient's condition at the time of admission.
How long do I need to stay in India for treatment?
The transplant itself typically requires 4 to 5 weeks of hospitalisation, and patients are generally advised to remain in India for continued monitoring for some time after discharge before travelling home.
Is a bone marrow transplant always required for aplastic anemia?
A transplant is generally recommended for severe cases, especially when a matched donor is available; the final treatment plan is always confirmed after the specialist reviews the patient's reports and evaluation.
Initial evaluation costs approximately USD 2,000, and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant with a matched sibling donor costs approximately USD 28,000; the final figure depends on the donor type and the patients condition at the time of admission.
