Bone marrow transplant is helpful for patients who are suffering from blood cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma. It is done when the bone marrow gets damaged and cannot produce blood cells. RBCs, WBCs and platelets are the blood cells the bone marrow makes. The white blood cells protect us from external infections and pathogens, so when the bone marrow is damaged, the WBC production is halted, which leads the body to be defenceless against foreign pathogens and diseases. Hence, getting a bone marrow transplant becomes necessary for the survival of the patient. A bone marrow transplant in Dhaka costs around $6,000 to $14,000.
