Allogeneic bone marrow transplant performed for the first time in Uzbekistan
The first patients to undergo the complex operation were six-year-old Murodjon and four-year-old Mubina, who suffered from a severe form of thalassemia. Until recently, such procedures were performed only abroad and at a high price, unaffordable for most families. Thanks to the transplant, both children were completely cured of the dangerous disease, which was a real miracle for their parents and proof of the effectiveness of new opportunities in domestic medicine.
Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is performed only in 20 countries around the world and requires highly qualified specialists and unique equipment. For Uzbekistan, this operation is not only a medical breakthrough, but also a social achievement, as patients can now receive life-saving treatment in their own country, without having to travel abroad and face the difficulties associated with high costs and waiting times.
The allogeneic bone marrow transplant procedure is crucial for the treatment of many diseases, such as blood cancer and various hereditary diseases. This type of transplant allows for the replacement of damaged hematopoietic cells with healthy donor cells, ensuring a full recovery and reducing the risk of relapse. In this case, it is important to find a compatible donor, and the operation itself requires strict monitoring and specialized care to minimize complications.
There are already two more children in need of bone marrow transplants at the National Children's Medical Center. About 20 such operations are planned to be performed by the end of the year. This is the first step in creating a national program for the treatment of severe blood diseases, which will save more lives and develop the skills of local specialists.
Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in Uzbekistan opens a new chapter in the fight against serious diseases, showing that the country's medicine is moving in step with world standards. This event is a hope for parents, doctors and the entire society, ready to support such breakthrough initiatives and contribute to improving the health of future generations.
