AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT (India CSR): Sankalp India Foundation proudly announces the opening of its new 10-bed Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Unit for children battling blood disorders such as hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell and thalassemia, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This state-of-the-art unit represents a significant milestone in the Foundation’s continuous efforts to provide specialized, life-saving healthcare for children living with these challenging blood conditions.
The BMT unit, set up in partnership with medical experts and supported by generous donors, offers critical care to children who have long endured the hardships of blood transfusions and related complications. Located at Health 1 Super Speciality Hospital, the Sankalp-Health1 Centre for Paediatric Hematology, Oncology, and BMT, a 10-bed facility is the first of its kind in the region, equipped with the latest technology to treat these life-threatening disorders.
The paperless unit ensures streamlined, efficient care for patients and their families, enabling them to receive life-saving stem cell transplants without the need to travel long distances. This initiative is part of Sankalp India Foundation’s broader goal of making high-quality healthcare more accessible to children across Gujarat and beyond, offering them the hope of a brighter, healthier future.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Dr. Elke Neujahr, Global CEO of DKMS, and Mr. Shailesh Bhandari, Chairman of Electrotherm India Ltd. The event also honored the memory of Mechtild Harf from DKMS, to whom the BMT unit is dedicated.
Rajat Agarwal, President of Sankalp India Foundation, expressed his enthusiasm: “The opening of this BMT unit is a transformative moment for families affected by blood disorders in Gujarat and beyond. Our commitment to providing the best care possible for every child remains strong. This unit will serve as a beacon of hope for families in need of advanced treatment options.”
The successful launch of this BMT unit is the result of an important partnership between Cure2Children Foundation, DKMS, Shree Jalaram Abhyudaya Sadbhavna Trust and Electrotherm India Ltd, whose invaluable support helped bring this vision to life. The unit is staffed with expert medical professionals and equipped with the latest medical facilities, ensuring that children receive not only high-quality care but also compassionate support throughout their treatment journey.
