Doha, Qatar: A newly established Bone Marrow Transplant Joint Clinic (BMT Clinic) at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC)’s National Centre for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) has enhanced care for transplant patients and their donors.

The clinic focuses on improving long-term outcomes for bone marrow transplant patients, particularly those with blood cancers and disorders such as sickle cell disease and thalassaemia, according to the latest edition of NCCCR’s newsletter - News and Views.

The Bone Marrow Transplant Joint Clinic offers comprehensive services, including pre-transplant assessments, national and international donor searches, donor counselling and consent, early post-transplant management, and ongoing support through both in-person and virtual follow-up visits for both early and long-term patients.

Since its launch in 2015, the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) programme at NCCCR has completed 263 stem cell transplants, achieving high success rates thanks to its expert teams, comprehensive care, and thorough assessments.

It includes 82 allogeneic (from a donor) and 181 autologous (patient’s own cells) transplants.
