Vadodara's SSG Hospital to start Stem cell harvesting

Advertisement
Vadodara: Other than AIIMS, New Delhi, the State-run SSG Hospital in Vadodara has become the second state-run government facility in the country to get registered for stem cell harvesting. The facility has recently secured a license for rare stem cell harvesting.
The blood centre of SSG Hospital is the biggest facility in central Gujarat. It has secured the approval of the Central Licensing Approval Authority (CLAA) to collect stem cells. This is a milestone in making bone marrow transplants less expensive and more affordable for patients in near future.
SSG Hospital's medical superintendent Dr Ranjan Aiyer told Times of India," It is a very essential and a firm step towards establishing a fully independent bone marrow transplant unit at our hospital." The hospital has secured an apheresis license. It is a medical technique by which a substance is removed from the body. Such licensed blood centres are either available at private hospitals or hospitals running on public-private-partnership mode. However, the treatment is quite expensive.
