Frequently Asked Questions
Is a bone marrow transplant really a cure for sickle cell?
It's the only treatment that can cure it. When it succeeds, the child's body begins making healthy red blood cells. But it's a serious procedure and isn't right for every child, and the specialist will be honest with you about that.
Does my child need a matched donor?
Yes. A brother or sister is often the best match, and the specialist helps you arrange HLA testing. If no sibling is a match, there are other options, such as a partial-match family donor or a registry donor.
What are the risks?
They are real — graft-versus-host disease, infection, and the effects of the preparation chemotherapy. The team manages these carefully, and they'll be straight with you about them before you decide.
Is it safe for my other child to be the donor?
Yes. A donor's stem cells regrow within weeks, only a small amount is needed, and donation is safe.
Is my child too old, or is it too late?
A transplant works best when done young, before organ damage builds up, but the specialist will assess your child individually rather than by age alone.
What will it cost?
From around $22,000 with a matched sibling donor. You'll get a written estimate covering both your child and the donor.
How long would we need to stay in India?
Usually around three months, covering the preparation, the transplant and early recovery. The specialist will confirm for your child.
Do I really have to travel just to talk to a doctor?
No. The video consultation and the honest assessment happen while you're still at home in Kumasi, and they're free.
What should I send before the consultation?
Your child's sickle cell diagnosis, recent blood tests, a history of any crises or complications, and details of siblings for matching.
Is the video consultation truly free?
Yes. You'll get an honest assessment within 48 hours, with no obligation to go further.
