Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation in Turkey
Pediatric bone marrow transplant is a critical medical procedure for children facing hemato-oncologic diseases. At Voumed, we specialize in connecting our patients with top healthcare options in Turkey, focusing on providing access to the Memorial Health Group’s Sisli and Bahcelievler hospitals in Istanbul, which are distinguished by their star doctors and JCI accreditation. This ensures that our patients receive care that meets the highest international standards.
Memorial Sisli and Bahcelievler Hospitals, located in the heart of Istanbul, are renowned for their Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) services, offering state-of-the-art care to international patients.
At Memorial Bahcelievler Hospital, the Pediatric BMT Center is recognized for its adherence to JACIE guidelines, reflecting the highest standards in transplant care. The center is equipped with the latest technology and is designed to meet the global needs of patients. The treatment procedures involve an interdisciplinary approach, managing various blood disorders effectively. Adult BMT is conducted using both autologous (using the patient’s own cells) and allogeneic (using cells from compatible family members or donors) methods. A key technique used is apheresis, a less invasive method for collecting cells, making the procedure more comfortable for patients. The Pediatric BMT Center at Bahcelievler provides comprehensive care for children of all ages, offering both autologous and allogeneic transplants.
Memorial Sisli Hospital is another key facility offering exceptional Pediatric BMT services. The hospital’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, combined with the expertise of its medical staff, ensures the highest quality of care. Specialized in treating a wide range of complex conditions, the hospital is a preferred destination for patients from across the globe.
Both hospitals are part of the Memorial Health Group, known for its patient-centered care, advanced technological infrastructure, and a healing environment influenced by greenery and art. The hospitals’ modern architectural design and extensive health complexes make them one of the most advanced in the world.
