What Is The Treatment For Aplastic Anemia?
Dear Dr. Krueger,
We have just found out that my son-in-law's 21 year old brother has aplastic anemia. I have been reading a lot on this disease and it is very rare. The entire family is in India and they are a very humble family and do not have the means to pay the $20,000 plus dollars that the hospital is telling him that he will need to undergo the bone marrow transplant. I have been trying to find places where I could try to get some funding to help them out. Do you know of any good funding sources that I could try? Thank you, respectfully, Maria

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The treatment for aplstic anemia is bone marrow transplant.
For the bone marrow transplant, matched donor is required.
Once a matched bone marrow is received, bone marrow transplantation can be done.
The cost involved in bone marrow transplantation is quite high.
You can get financial help from charitable hospitals and NGOs.
You will have to find out the centres which provide financial help for expensive procedures.
Thanks and take care
