  1. What is Paediatric Haemato-Oncology?

    Paediatric Haemato-Oncology focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing cancers and blood-related disorders in children — including leukemias, lymphomas, and genetic blood diseases.
    Children require specialized protocols and compassionate handling, as their physiological responses and emotional needs differ from adults.

    Our team includes paediatric oncologists, haematologists, transplant physicians, nurses, counsellors, and nutritionists, all working together to deliver complete, coordinated, and compassionate care.

    Our Areas of Expertise

    1. Childhood Cancers

    • Leukemias: Acute Lymphoblastic (ALL), Acute Myeloid (AML), Chronic Myeloid (CML)

    • Lymphomas: Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s

    • Solid Tumours: Neuroblastoma, Wilms’ Tumour, Bone and Brain Tumours

    2. Blood Disorders

    • Aplastic Anaemia

    • Thalassemia Major and Intermedia

    • Sickle Cell Anaemia

    • Myelodysplastic Syndromes

    • Inherited Immune Deficiencies and Metabolic Disorders

    3. Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)

    • Autologous BMT: Using the patient’s own stem cells

    • Allogeneic BMT: Using stem cells from a matched donor (sibling/unrelated)

    • Haploidentical BMT: Using a half-matched family donor

    • Cord Blood Transplant: For specific conditions

    Why Choose BMT?

    Bone Marrow (Stem Cell) Transplantation replaces diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells that can regenerate normal blood and immune function.
    It is a curative treatment for many childhood blood cancers and genetic disorders.

    Conditions Treated with BMT

    • Acute Leukemias in remission

    • Aplastic Anaemia

    • Thalassemia Major

    • Sickle Cell Disease

    • Immunodeficiency Syndromes

    • Certain solid tumours and rare metabolic diseases

    The BMT Process at Gemcare

    Our BMT program follows international protocols with a personalized, safety-first approach.

    1. Pre-Transplant Evaluation

    • Comprehensive blood, imaging, and genetic tests

    • Infectious disease screening

    • Nutritional and psychological preparation

    • Donor matching (HLA typing) and counselling

    2. Conditioning Phase

    • Chemotherapy and/or radiation to destroy diseased marrow

    • Immune suppression to prepare for new stem cells

    3. Stem Cell Infusion

    • Healthy stem cells (from donor or patient) are infused into the bloodstream

    • The cells travel to the bone marrow to begin new blood formation

    4. Recovery & Engraftment

    • Intensive monitoring for infection, bleeding, or rejection

    • Engraftment usually occurs within 2–4 weeks

    • Supportive care with antibiotics, transfusions, and nutrition

    5. Post-Transplant Care

    • Regular follow-ups for graft monitoring and immunity recovery

    • Vaccination, nutrition, and psychosocial support programs

    • Rehabilitation and reintegration to normal life

    Facilities & Safety Protocols

    • Dedicated HEPA-filtered BMT Units with positive pressure isolation rooms

    • Infection Control Protocols adhering to international standards

    • 24×7 Critical Care & Emergency Support

    • Specialized BMT-trained nursing staff

    • On-site blood bank and lab support for transfusions and monitoring

    • Multidisciplinary Care — Oncology, Immunology, Nutrition, Psychology, Physiotherapy

    Supportive Care Services

    • Psychological Support & Play Therapy for emotional well-being

    • Nutrition & Dietetic Guidance for faster recovery

    • Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation for strength and stamina

    • Parent Education & Counselling on home care and infection prevention
