First such procedure in any ESIC hospitals across the country
Specialist doctors at ESIC Medical College and Super Speciality Hospital, Sanathnagar, have successfully performed Allogeneic Bone Marrow- Peripheral Stem Cells Transplant on an 18-year-old female patient. The woman was discharged on Wednesday. This is the first such procedure performed in any of the ESIC hospitals across the country.
