For families battling thalassemia, every day is a fight for survival. The hope of a cure through a bone marrow transplant (BMT) often feels out of reach due to limited facilities and high costs. In a step toward changing this reality Sankalp India Foundation with the partnership of DKMS Foundation India and Cure2Children have expanded the BMT unit at Health1 Hospital, Ahmedabad.
With the capacity increasing from 4 to 10 beds, the unit can now offer lifesaving transplants to up to 120 children each year. This means more families will find hope, and more children will get the chance to live a transfusion-free life.
Strengthening the unit’s capabilities further, an Apheresis machine, contributed by Electrotherm Limited, Ahmedabad, will support critical donor procedures and advanced transplant care.
With this expansion, Sankalp India Foundation aims to complete 300 transplants in the coming year—bringing new beginnings to children who have spent their lives fighting thalassemia
