Delhi Hospital Performs Haploidentical Transplant for Thalassemia; DKMS Offers Free HLA Typing

Doctors at a Delhi hospital successfully treated a 5-year-old thalassemia patient using a haploidentical bone marrow transplant, involving a 50% HLA-matched donor, typically a parent or sibling. This procedure, once considered complex, has seen improved outcomes due to advances in transplant protocols. Meanwhile, DKMS Foundation India launched a free HLA typing program for children under 12 with beta thalassemia major to enhance donor matching and reduce treatment costs, supporting families nationwide ahead of World Thalassemia Day.
