Let's take a look at the cost of different bone marrow transplants.

For your reference, below we have discussed the cost of bone marrow transplants in India.  Here is an estimated bone marrow transplantation cost in India on the basis of its types. (depending on the recommendation of your consulting oncologist):

Types of BMT

BMT Cost In India
(INR and Dollar)

Autologous Bone marrow transplant₹15,00,000 - ₹17,00,000 ($21,013 - $23,652)
Allogeneic Bone marrow transplant₹25,00,000 - ₹30,00,000 ($35,022 - $42,027)
Haplo-Allogeneic Bone marrow transplant₹35,00,000 - ₹40,00,000 ($49,031 - $56,036)

*To be on the safer side, be prepared for a 5% to 10% variation on the estimated cost depending on your condition. The charges encompass various expenses related to hospitalization, such as the duration of the stay, the fees of the surgeon, the cost of the operation theater, the charges for anesthesia, and the provision of meals for both the patient and one accompanying person.

You might be curious about why the cost of bone marrow transplants in India varies for different types of procedures.

Let's explore the key factors that contribute to this variation.

Autologous Bone marrow transplantYour own bone marrow is used for this type of transplant.
Autologous costs are less as compared to allogeneic transplants.
Allogeneic Bone marrow transplantBone marrow from a 10/10 HLA matching donor (preferably a sibling) is used for this type of transplant.

Cost is higher when it comes to allogeneic because here you have to pay not only for yourself but also for your donor when it comes to tests, facilities, lab works, etc.
Haplo-Allogeneic (Haploidentical) Bone marrow transplantWhen bone marrow is used from a donor (your children, parents, sibling) that has a partial HLA match to you.

Cost is even higher in Haplo-Allogeneic transplant as the procedure is a lot more complicated so the cost and number of tests increases.

What could be the additional costs of BMT?

If you’re thinking of bone marrow transplant costs in India or anywhere else in the world, be prepared to shell out money for post- and pre-transplant facilities. You have to additionally pay for facilities such as tests, chemotherapy, post-transplant monitoring, etc.

We have carefully created an extensive guide that covers all the additional services that you might be charged for during your blood cancer treatment in India. This will help you be fully prepared for your time there. This will help you navigate any potential charges without any surprising moments.

First, we want to discuss all the costs that come under the pre-bone marrow transplant stage:

In a bone marrow transplant, the body's damaged or destroyed blood cells are replaced with new, healthy blood cells. This medical process is also known as a stem cell transplant. Bone marrow cancer treatment in India is available for certain types of cancers, like leukemia, multiple myeloma and some types of lymphoma. Stem cell transplant cost in India is approximately INR 1,49,000 (USD 2,000) for one cycle.

In the pre-bone marrow transplant stage, you will go through steps that are essential preparations for the bone marrow transplant procedure. This is the most critical stage, as it lays the foundation for the treatment.

Following is a complete guide to not only all the necessary steps you will have to take before the bone marrow transplant but also discusses the costs you will incur during this stage:

You should consider the pre- and post-transplant costs to make an accurate estimation of overall costs.

For your convenience, we have elaborated on each and every step of the pre-bone marrow transplant costs below:

Pre-bone marrow transplant cost in India:

Pre-procedure check-up tests and treatments

Cost Estimation

Health checkup

Physical examination and health check-up with an oncologist in India might cost around ₹600 ($8) - ₹5000($70)

All investigations

There are a number of investigations that will be required like a blood test, PFTs and RVG for the heart, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Chest and Dental X-ray, etc which will set you back by around ₹55,892 ($800) to ₹69,865 ($1000)

HLA typing
(if required)

HLA typing is only required in cases of an allogeneic/haploidentical transplant, which costs around ₹80,000 ($1,112.53) additionally.

Chemotherapy

Cost of chemotherapy is approximately ₹1,04,797 ($1,500) to ₹1,25,077 ($1,800) per chemo cycle.

You may also have to pay for Induction chemotherapy which will cost you approximately ₹1,38,974 ($2000) to ₹2,08,462 ($3,000).

Radiation Therapy/ Radiotherapy

A rough estimate of the cost for Radiation treatment based on the procedure or technique can range between ₹1,66,770 ($2,400) to ₹4,86,955 ($7,000) depending on the package.

Donor fees
(if required)

In the case of Allogeneic transplant, there are a number of tests and expenses related to the extraction of stem cells. This is more expensive in a haploidentical transplant. So we have to consider stem cell transplant costs in India or the country in which the treatment is going on.

Medication

Medication is prescribed for your recovery.

Pre - operations cost

Pre-operations cost, medication costs, documentation costs etc.

What costs come with the post-bone marrow transplant stage?

Once you are done with the transplant, the work is not finished. Various measures are implemented to closely track the advancement of transplantation in a patient, ensuring a swift recovery and mitigating the risk of infection.

But in cases of unforeseen situations, unanticipated monitoring, extended stays, etc., requirements will be charged separately. This is not included in the transplant cost, and hence it comes under the post-transplant stage.

For your convenience, we have elaborated on each and every step of the post-bone marrow transplant costs below:

Post-Bone Marrow Transplant Cost in India:

Monitoring and requirements
Medications costThere will be many expensive medicines prescribed to you after the transplant.
Any additional service availedAny extended hospital stay and use of services
Other consultationAny other consultation with your doctor and other consultations.
Complications management and unanticipated careThe cost of monitoring and treatment for complications management and unanticipated care is separate from the transplant cost.

If for any reason you have stayed beyond the stipulated period, you will be charged separately.
Follow - up costsAfter the transplant, you will have to follow up with your doctor regularly for your health check-up.

The cost of bone marrow transplant is less if compared to other medically advanced nations.

Why has India become the hub for bone marrow transplants?

India

₹15,00,000 – ₹43,00,000 ($19500 - $56100)

The reasons for variations in costs between India and other developed countries are:

1. Currency: Basically, the Indian currency is lower than the USD, pounds, euro, etc. So obviously, everything is cost-effective here.

2. Standard of living: The standard of living is quite lower in India than the other developed countries such as the USA. So the prices of facilities in the fields of transport, overall stay, food, and medical treatment are cost-effective.

3. Competition: There are many bone marrow transplant centers in India, so you have a wider choice according to your budget of hospitals of your choosing.

4. Hospitals: India is the preferred destination for transplantation due to its renowned hospitals, which house exceptionally skilled hematologists and oncologists specializing in bone marrow transplants (BMT). A few government-run hospitals also offer free bone marrow transplants in India, or they offer their services at very nominal costs.

5. Doctor: Basically, here in India the doctors charge less compared to doctors in the other developed countries. However, the charges of doctors may vary according to their popularity, experience, and the hospitals where they practice.

There are a few other reasons why getting bone marrow transplants in India is a good option.

While blood cancer treatment in India is notably affordable compared to other developed nations, it is crucial to understand that Indian hospitals never compromise on the paramount aspects of quality and expertise.

Female | 18

A hemoglobin level of 18.6 is already a high value. This may be what is behind your dizziness. In addition, high hemoglobin can also result in headaches and red skin. It might be dehydration, lung diseases, or heart problems. To decrease hemoglobin levels, drink more water, refrain from smoking, and work out regularly. Iron-rich foods such as broccoli and beans can also help.

Female | 22

You've been feeling exhausted, lightheaded, and nauseous after childbirth. These could be signs of anemia, which means your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. Even though you are on iron and calcium tablets, they may not be enough. It's important to have a blood test to see if you need a different type of iron or if something else is causing your symptoms.

An Lymphocyte percentage of 16% might fall into the reference range depending further on several factors still. This value alone does not mean that one has an HIV infection as the person with HIV infection can differ in their lymphocytes percentages. The most frequent warning signs of HIV are long-lasting fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and frequent infections. In case people are bothered by health issues, they should approach a doctor first for further advice and even a possible test. The doctor will explain the results to you and decide if further investigation is necessary, thus ensuring that you get the required support and care.

Female | 32

This may suggest that your body lacks iron. With insufficient iron levels, tiredness, weakness, and dizziness may be felt. In women, it could lead to low hemoglobin levels (Hb - 11) thus giving rise to anemia. You are, therefore, required to include foods high in iron such as red meat, beans, and leafy greens in your diet to enhance your iron levels. Further advice may necessitate taking iron supplements based on the orders made by your doctor. Also, there should be regular check-ups so that suitable directions are provided and tracking done.

Hi, I did Antibody hiv 1& 2 Elisa test after 30 days of exposure. Then once again I did Insti antibody 1&2 screening tes after 45 days. In both test my result was negative. Should I do further test for my assurance...please kindly suggest me

Male | 39

The tests you took at 30 and 45 days are generally accurate, but for complete peace of mind, it's best to get tested again 3 months after being exposed. This is because it takes time for the immune system to make enough antibodies that can be detected by the test. In the meantime, if you start feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, rash, sore throat or tiredness, please tell your doctor.

Male | 21

According to your test results, it is very encouraging that both the HIV combo and Elisa tests were negative. The 3rd-generation Elisa test is reliable and fairly accurate in detecting HIV antibodies on the 45th day. Don't forget HIV symptoms can be different; however, the most common ones are flu-like symptoms, rash, and fatigue.

Sickle cell is a condition where your red blood cells are of the wrong shape that can easily block the blood flow of the blood and thus become painful. This phenomenon occurs in every part of the body. It can lead to fatigue as well. To heal, you are recommended to take warm baths, drink water, and rest. You should also talk to your doctor for more help.
