Bone marrow transplant in Kazakhstan has expanded steadily, supporting patients requiring advanced treatment for leukemia, lymphoma, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and inherited blood disorders.
Investments in infrastructure and strategic cooperation with international centers now allow many Kazakh patients to receive BMT at home, though those with complex diagnoses or rare donor needs may still travel abroad, particularly to India or Turkey.
