Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A pediatric bone marrow transplant, also called a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), replaces a child's diseased or failing bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells from a donor or from the child's own previously collected cells. It is recommended for children with blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma, bone marrow failure syndromes, inherited blood disorders like thalassemia and sickle cell disease, severe primary immunodeficiencies, and certain metabolic conditions. The process involves a week or so of high-dose conditioning chemotherapy — sometimes combined with radiation — to clear the child's existing marrow, followed by the stem cell infusion itself, which is given through a central line much like a blood transfusion. The child then remains in a protected hospital environment for four to eight weeks while the new stem cells engraft and begin producing healthy blood cells. With modern donor matching and supportive care, most children who undergo a successful transplant return to school and normal childhood life.
The child's own stem cells are collected and stored before high-dose chemotherapy, then returned to rebuild the marrow — used mainly for certain solid tumours and lymphomas.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500

A parent donates their half-matched stem cells, making this option available to almost every child who lacks a fully matched sibling — modern techniques have made outcomes comparable to matched donors.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,500
