AIIMS-Nagpur To Get State-of-the-Art Bone Marrow Transplant Centre
Nagpur: AIIMS Nagpur is set to establish a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) centre with significant funding from NTPC under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The centre will bring advanced treatment for blood disorders like sickle cell disease and thalassemia closer to thousands of patients across Central India, especially from tribal and rural areas. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This initiative is being hailed as a game-changer for the region, which has long relied on metros like Mumbai and Delhi for bone marrow transplant procedures. The new centre is expected to drastically reduce the physical, emotional, and financial burden on patients and their families from Nagpur and surrounding districts. The concept for this critical healthcare facility was initiated by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who envisioned a dedicated BMT unit at AIIMS Nagpur to serve the needs of sickle cell and thalassemia patients in the region. Responding positively, NTPC extended financial assistance through its CSR funds, and formalised via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently signed in Mumbai. "This will be a milestone facility for Central India," said Fadnavis. "It will especially benefit children and underprivileged patients suffering from genetic blood disorders, which are alarmingly prevalent in tribal belts. The support from NTPC will ensure that modern and accessible care reaches the remotest parts of Vidarbha." The BMT centre will include infrastructure development, essential diagnostic testing, advanced medication, specialist services, and complete treatment support. It will also prominently carry NTPC branding, in line with CSR funding guidelines. AIIMS Nagpur, steadily emerging as a hub of excellence in healthcare and medical research, will gain further prominence with this addition. The institution will not only provide cutting-edge treatment for blood cancers and genetic disorders but will also position Nagpur as a critical medical referral point for Central India. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now NTPC Mouda, which has been active in social development projects across health, education, and welfare sectors, is partnering with AIIMS Nagpur to bring high-end care within reach of the most vulnerable communities. With this facility, patients from Vidarbha will no longer need to travel long distances for bone marrow transplants — making Nagpur a new beacon of hope in the fight against deadly blood disorders. BOX Salient Features Of The Centre - Will reduce dependency on metros like Mumbai and Delhi for BMT - Will give accessible, advanced treatment for sickle cell, thalassemia, and blood cancers - Will provide relief to tribal and rural patients through affordable and nearby care - Will strengthen AIIMS Nagpur's position as a tertiary care and research hub - Will minimise financial and logistical burden on families needing long-term treatment
