Sankalp’s Bone Marrow Transplant unit is now a reality

A new hope, a new silver lining has surfaced for little children suffering from the pain and burden of thalassemia. A new Bone Marrow Transplant unit (BMT) with an exclusive focus towards treating thalassemia children has been jointly established by Sankalp India Foundation, Cure2Children and People Tree Hospitals at Bengaluru. This unit is the one of the two centers in the country and first of its kind in South India, that has an exclusive focus on thalassemia and is setup on a Not For Profit basis.

Recently, one of the three little ones stepped out and took the first steps out of

our BMT unit. The other two children are also packing their bags. Our dream of

offering safe and quality oriented transplant to any and every child who suffers from

thalassemia has started taking shape.
