About the Procedure
What is Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant?
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant involves replacing a patient's diseased or malfunctioning bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells from a matched donor. It is a curative treatment option for conditions like Sickle Cell Disease and Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), aiming to restore normal blood cell and immune function. India offers this complex procedure at leading transplant centers with internationally trained hematologists at a fraction of Western costs.
Who may be considered?
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Stem cells are collected from a fully HLA-matched sibling, offering the lowest risk of rejection and graft-versus-host disease among allogeneic options.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Matched Sibling Donor (MSD) Transplant
Most PreferredStem cells are collected from a fully HLA-matched sibling, offering the lowest risk of rejection and graft-versus-host disease among allogeneic options.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $800 - $2,000
HLA typing of patient and siblings, CBC, bone marrow biopsy/aspiration, HbA2/HbF electrophoresis (for sickle cell), immunoglobulin panel and lymphocyte subset testing (for SCID), viral serology (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, CMV), chest X-ray, ECG, renal and liver function tests
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $25,000 - $40,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~25-30 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~60-90 days recommended
Total stay: approx 90-120 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-transplant conditioning chemotherapy
- Stem cell infusion and inpatient isolation care
- Donor stem cell harvesting
- Daily monitoring and supportive medications
- Basic post-transplant follow-up visits
Usually Not Included
- International/domestic flights and visa costs
- Long-term immunosuppressive medications after discharge
- Accommodation for attendants outside hospital stay
- Treatment of unexpected complications (GVHD, infections)
- Donor travel costs if non-resident
Recovery and follow-up
Patients typically remain in isolation for 3-4 weeks post-transplant for engraftment and infection monitoring, followed by close outpatient follow-up in India for 2-3 months before returning home with a long-term care plan coordinated with local physicians.
Risks
Key risks include graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft rejection or failure, severe infections due to immunosuppression, and organ toxicity from conditioning chemotherapy.
Alternatives
Depending on disease severity, alternatives may include disease-modifying medications (e.g., hydroxyurea for sickle cell), regular blood transfusions with chelation therapy, gene therapy where available, or continued supportive/immunoglobulin therapy for SCID rather than transplant.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Complete blood count (CBC) and peripheral blood smear
- Bone marrow biopsy/aspiration report
- HLA typing report of patient and potential donors
- Hemoglobin electrophoresis (for Sickle Cell Disease)
- Immunoglobulin levels and lymphocyte subset analysis (for SCID)
- Viral serology panel (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, CMV, EBV)
- Organ function tests (liver, kidney, cardiac echo/ECG)
- Recent hematologist/immunologist consultation notes
Patient information needed
- Patient's age, weight, and current clinical status
- Detailed diagnosis history including disease severity and transfusion history
- Availability and HLA-match status of potential family donors
- List of current medications and prior treatments (e.g., hydroxyurea, chelation therapy)
- History of infections, organ complications, or prior hospitalizations
- Vaccination history and immune status
- Passport copy and preferred travel timeline for patient and attendants
- Any known allergies or comorbid conditions
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant in India
What is Severe Combined Immunodeficiency?
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by severely reduced or absent T-cell function—often accompanied by B-cell and natural killer (NK) cell deficits—that together eliminate the body's ability to mount an effective immune response against infections.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency?
Infants with SCID commonly present with recurrent pneumonias, persistent oral thrush or skin candidiasis, chronic diarrhea, poor weight gain, and unusually prolonged or severe infections caused by organisms that would not normally trouble a healthy immune system. Some children appear well at birth for the first weeks of life due to residual maternal antibodies, which can delay recognition of the condition. These signs and symptoms are suggestive but are not sufficient on their own to establish a diagnosis—formal immunological testing is required.
How is Severe Combined Immunodeficiency diagnosed?
Diagnosis is typically confirmed through a combination of a complete blood count (which often reveals profound lymphopenia), flow cytometry to quantify T, B, and NK cell subsets, and functional assays measuring lymphocyte proliferative response to mitogens. Newborn screening programs in many countries now include T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) assays on dried blood spots, enabling detection before symptoms develop. Genetic testing to identify the specific causative mutation—among more than twenty known gene variants, including defects in IL2RG, ADA, RAG1, and RAG2—is important for determining the precise subtype, guiding treatment planning, and informing family counseling; all findings are interpreted by a clinician with expertise in primary immunodeficiency.
How is Severe Combined Immunodeficiency treated?
The treatment approach depends on the specific SCID subtype, the child's clinical condition, and the availability of a suitable donor, but curative intent almost always involves hematopoietic stem cell transplantation—most commonly allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT). Outcomes are significantly better when transplantation is performed before serious infections establish, ideally in the first months of life, which underlines the importance of early diagnosis through newborn screening. For the adenosine deaminase (ADA-SCID) subtype specifically, enzyme replacement therapy and, in eligible patients, gene therapy represent additional curative or bridging options that a specialist team will evaluate on an individual basis.
Can Severe Combined Immunodeficiency be treated without a procedure?
While SCID has no meaningful long-term non-procedural cure, supportive and bridging measures are used to keep affected infants as safe as possible pending definitive treatment: these include protective isolation, prophylactic antimicrobial and antifungal medications, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement to partially compensate for absent antibody production, and—for ADA-SCID—enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) as a bridge to transplant or gene therapy. These measures reduce infection risk but do not correct the underlying immune defect, and the decision to use them, and for how long, is made by the treating clinical team based on each child's individual circumstances.
When is Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant considered for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency?
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Severe Combined Immunodeficiency?
SCID is evaluated and managed by a clinical immunologist or pediatric immunologist with subspecialty expertise in primary immunodeficiency diseases, working closely with a hematologist and bone marrow transplant (BMT) specialist who has experience in pediatric allogeneic transplantation. Depending on the treatment centre, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, and clinical geneticists are also typically involved in the multidisciplinary team.
How do I choose a doctor for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency?
When comparing care options, it is worth asking about a centre's volume of pediatric allogeneic bone marrow transplants specifically for primary immunodeficiency, their newborn-to-transplant timeline data, access to matched unrelated donor registries, and the availability of an integrated multidisciplinary team covering immunology, transplant medicine, infectious disease, and long-term follow-up. Post-transplant monitoring for immune reconstitution and graft function is an ongoing commitment, so understanding a centre's follow-up protocol before making a decision is equally important.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
