What is Bone Marrow?
    Bone marrow is a spongy, soft tissue within the bones, which makes blood 
stem cells or blood-forming cells. These cells further turn into blood cells, 
such as:
• Red blood cells carry oxygen to different body parts
• White blood cells to combat infections
• Blood platelets for controlling bleeding
  Bone Marrow Transplant Work?
   Before undergoing a bone marrow transplant in India, 
you get chemotherapy without or with radiation therapy 
that kills diseases or damaged blood-forming marrow 
and cells. After that, healthy cells are injected into your 
bloodstream via an intravenous (IV) tube or line

    The process of recovery after the transplant is different for each patient. However, 
you have to spend many weeks in the hospital. Your immune system becomes 
weak, so the doctor will prescribe you medicines to prevent any infections. You 
even require blood transfusions. For the initial weeks, doctors test the patient’s 
blood for checking engraftment. They even take a sample of bone marrow for this 
procedure. After meeting certain criteria, including no fever for up to two days and 
certain blood cell counts, you may leave the hospital. You even need someone at
