Another term for a bone marrow transplant is- “stem cell transplant.” Cancer and hereditary illnesses such as aplastic anaemia, lymphoma, and leukaemia are treated with it. The bone marrow generates platelets, WBC, and RBC. The WBCs are the main component of our immune system. When the bone marrow is affected by any disease, the WBC production is decreased which causes our immune system to become weakened. A bone marrow transplant is done to replace the diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells taken from a donor. This transplant in Australia can cost around $ 50,000 to $ 1,37,000.
