During the process of ABO-incompatible bone marrow transplant, the blood group of the patient gets changed according to the donor. In such cases we need to provide specific blood components of specific blood groups, to cater to this we also have an advanced immune hematology laboratory. The leukodepleted blood component and irradiated blood component provide extra support to the BMT unit and patients. Along with this red cell antibody screening and identification techniques are also standardized which plays a very important role in the management of a Bone Marrow Transplant Patient".Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Vinod Sawantwadkar, CEO Jehangir Hospital said, "Our hospital is one among very few hospitals to have a state of Art Blood Centre and specialized Hematology Division and our team of hematologists have the clinical acumen to diagnose, treat and offer post-treatment care for all blood-related disorders. We understand that Bone Marrow Transplant is a specialized treatment and that such patients need special attention and care. Therefore, we have built the most advanced unit to deliver globally benchmarked outcomes. This treatment requires a well-orchestrated high-end specialty set-up and a team of highly-trained specialists. Without an internationally benchmarked BMT facility and infrastructure, delivering optimum clinical outcomes becomes difficult. Our new department with 3 bedded dedicated Bone Marrow Transplant Unit is at par with global standards, in terms of care, expertise, and facilities"."At Jehangir Hospital, we always put 'Patient First' and that is what makes us one of the most trusted hospitals of the city. Our mission is the latest medical facility with unmatched care through upgradation in infrastructure and scope. Our goal is to get our patients back to leading full, healthy lives after transplantation. We tailor treatment to suit their needs to achieve the best possible chance for a cure," added Sawantwadkar.This story is provided by PNN. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
