Bengaluru Dec 24: Trustwell Hospital is a leading multi-speciality healthcare institution known for its clinical excellence, advanced technology, and compassionate care. With a focus on Neurosurgery, ENT, and other Multi speciality care, the hospital has suites specifically built for advanced “Stem Cell Transplantation” for treatment of blood cancer/disorders.
In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Trustwell Hospital, J C Road, has successfully performed a complex daycare Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) on a 44-year-old patient, setting a new precedent for accessible and affordable cancer treatment in India.
The patient, a farmer who was battling Multiple Myeloma, underwent an Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation—an advanced procedure where a patient’s own healthy stem cells are collected, preserved, and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy. Traditionally requiring weeks of hospitalisation, this life-saving transplant was completed on a daycare basis, allowing the patient to return home the same day.
The patient, referred to as Yogesh (name changed), is a father of two and the sole breadwinner of his family. Diagnosed with blood cancer, he sought a treatment that would ensure long-term survival without financial ruin. The daycare BMT at Trustwell Hospital provided exactly a world-class, technologically advanced procedure without admission or exorbitant expense.
Leading the procedure, Dr. Sachin Jadhav, Director – Haematology & Bone Marrow Transplant at Trustwell Hospital, highlighted the transformative impact of this approach. “In India, where advanced cancer care often remains out of reach for many due to cost and infrastructure barriers, this daycare model is a paradigm shift. We have not only reduced hospital stay from weeks to a day but also lowered the treatment cost by nearly 40%, completing the entire transplant within Rs. 5 lakhs.”
“The success of this procedure lies in a streamlined protocol, skilled multidisciplinary teamwork, and state-of-the-art infrastructure,” added Dr. Jadhav. “It proves that high-quality cancer care can be both accessible and affordable.”
Post-treatment, Yogesh has resumed his daily life with his family, marking a full and stable recovery. His case stands as a testament to how innovation in clinical pathways can democratise advanced medical treatment.
This milestone reinforces Trustwell Hospital’s commitment to delivering patient-centric, evidence-based, and economically viable healthcare solutions
Dr. H V Madhusudhan, Chairman & Managing Director Trustwell Hospitals, This successful Daycare Bone Marrow Transplant at Trustwell Hospital is a landmark moment not just for our institution, but for the future of accessible Cancer Care in India.
For too long, advanced treatments like Bone Marrow Transplants have been synonymous with prohibitive costs and prolonged hospitalisation, placing an unbearable burden on patients and families. Today, under the pioneering leadership of Dr. Sachin Jadhav and his exceptional team, we have demonstrated a transformative alternative. By safely and effectively transitioning this complex procedure to a daycare model, we have shattered the traditional cost and access barriers.
Reducing the financial burden by 40% and completing the transplant within a remarkable ₹5 lakhs, while ensuring uncompromised clinical outcomes, embodies our core mission: to make world-class healthcare truly patient-centric and affordable. This achievement is a powerful testament to Indian medical innovation—proving that excellence and empathy can go hand-in- hand to close the critical gaps in our healthcare system.
At Trustwell Hospitals, we have built the state-of-the-art Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Centre to the needs of complex transplant requirements. However, we believe that the right to life saving treatments should not be dictated by economic constraints. Hence, we perform day care transplant.
