Bone Marrow Transplant in India: Cost & Guide for International Patients 2026
Bone marrow transplant (BMT) is one of the most complex and expensive medical procedures in the world. In India, it is available at JCI-accredited hospitals for $15,000–$30,000 — compared to $300,000–$500,000 in the USA or £150,000–£300,000 in the UK. For patients from Nigeria, Kenya, UAE, and Bangladesh, India is the most accessible and affordable option.
Types of Bone Marrow Transplant
Autologous BMT
Patient's own stem cells collected, stored, and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy. Used for multiple myeloma and lymphoma. From $15,000 in India.
Allogeneic BMT
Stem cells from a matched donor — sibling or unrelated donor. Used for leukaemia and aplastic anaemia. From $25,000 in India.
Haploidentical BMT
Half-matched family donor transplant — available when a fully matched donor is not found. Expanding access for international patients.
CAR-T Cell Therapy
Next-generation immunotherapy for relapsed/refractory blood cancers. Available in India at a fraction of the $400,000+ USA cost.
Conditions Treated
Acute leukaemia (ALL and AML), chronic leukaemia (CML and CLL), multiple myeloma, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, aplastic anaemia, sickle cell disease, thalassaemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome.
