Why Afghan patients consider India for bone marrow transplant

Bone marrow transplant (BMT), also called stem cell transplant, is a complex treatment for certain blood cancers, blood disorders, and immune system conditions. Afghan patients who consider BMT in India typically do so when a programme is not available locally, when a specific transplant type (autologous or allogeneic) is needed, or when a donor match has been identified.

India has specialist BMT centres in Delhi, Mumbai, and Amritsar with programmes covering autologous, allogeneic (matched related and unrelated donor), and haploidentical transplants. BMT appropriateness, donor matching, and conditioning regimen all require individual specialist assessment.

Types of bone marrow and stem cell transplant in India

The transplant type depends on the underlying condition, donor availability, and specialist evaluation.

  • Autologous stem cell transplant — patient's own stem cells collected, stored, and re-infused after high-dose chemotherapy; used for multiple myeloma, certain lymphomas
  • Allogeneic transplant (matched related donor) — stem cells from a matched sibling or family member
  • Allogeneic transplant (matched unrelated donor) — from a matched unrelated donor via bone marrow registries
  • Haploidentical transplant — from a half-matched family member where a fully matched donor is unavailable
  • Paediatric BMT programmes — specialist transplant for children with blood disorders and certain malignancies

How the process works for international patients

BMT requires detailed pre-transplant evaluation, donor assessment, and conditioning — all of which must be planned before travel.

  • Share records — diagnosis, prior treatment, bone marrow biopsy, HLA typing (if available), complete blood count history
  • Haematology and BMT specialist review — assessment of BMT candidacy and appropriate transplant type
  • Donor evaluation — if a related donor is available, preliminary HLA discussion with the transplant team
  • Hospital matching — Livance coordinates with the appropriate BMT centre
  • Medical visa — Afghan passport holders apply through the Indian Embassy or via Indian missions in neighbouring countries where applicable; Livance provides the invitation letter
  • Transplant, engraftment, and follow-up — extended stay required; post-transplant follow-up protocol provided

Medical visa for Afghan patients

Afghan passport holders apply for an Indian Medical Visa through the Indian Embassy or via Indian missions in neighbouring countries where applicable.

BMT patients typically require an extended stay visa given the duration of the transplant process. Documents required: valid passport, hospital invitation letter, detailed medical records, proof of funds, travel insurance. Up to two attendants may apply.
