Cost of stem cell transplant in India?

by chd_niku on Tue Mar 22, 2016 2:47 am

Hi All,

I have been advised to have an autologous stem cell transplant. Wondering what would be the cost in India?

My insurance has bailed out and I would have to fund the entire cost.

Thanks,
Neeraj

Dear Neeraj,

My dad just had a stem cell transplant done at Apollo. The cost was approximately INR 12 lakh (1,200,000 Indian rupee, or about $US 18,000).

Hope this helps.

Regards,
PK
