1. What Haematopoietic stem cell transplant is

Transplantation of blood-forming stem cells, the patient's own or a donor's, after conditioning therapy. China runs some of the largest transplant ward clusters in Asia.

The transplant is a system, not an event: conditioning, infusion, engraftment and the long tail of immune recovery, each with its own risks and its own timetable.

2. Who it is typically considered for

For certain leukaemias, lymphomas and marrow failure. Autologous versus allogeneic, and donor availability, reshape both risk and cost.

3. How the process usually runs

01Step 1Disease status confirmation and donor search if allogeneic 02Step 2Conditioning therapy 03Step 3Cell infusion 04Engraftment monitoring in protective isolationEngraftment monitoring in protective isolation, then long follow-up

4. What sits inside, and outside, the institution's bill

Typically inside the bill

The procedure, theatre or suite time, and the treating team
Standard ward stay for the listed nights
Routine drugs and consumables during the admission
The institution's own scheduled follow-up visit

Usually billed separately

Flights, hotel and daily costs
Our translation, interpretation and coordination fees, published separately
Treatment of complications beyond the routine course
A companion's costs

What moves the total

Autologous vs allogeneic
Donor search and cell processing
Complication management, the widest variable

You contract with the institution directly and pay it directly. We add nothing to its bill and never handle payments owed to it.

5. Recovery and follow-up

01Step 1Protective isolation until counts recover 02Step 2Frequent monitoring for infection and, in donor transplants, graft-versus-host disease 03Step 3Immune recovery and vaccination schedules run for months and can transfer home

6. Common questions

How long must I stay in China?

Plan in months, not weeks: work-up, admission, engraftment and early follow-up before travel is safe.

What if no donor matches?

Haploidentical (half-matched family) transplantation is a developed practice in China's large centres; ask how your donor options map.

What is the biggest risk?

Infection during aplasia and, for donor transplants, graft-versus-host disease. The isolation and monitoring exist for exactly these.

Can my home haematologist take over?

Long-term follow-up usually transfers; we translate the transplant summary and medication plan for that handover.

7. What to ask the institution

What donor options exist for me?
What is the expected isolation period?
What long-term follow-up can transfer home?

Our part, and its limits

We translate your records in full, correspond with institutions in Chinese, and interpret on site, at the rates published on the fees page. We do not give medical advice, do not recommend one institution over another, and never handle payments owed to any hospital. Whether this procedure is right for you is a question only the treating physicians can answer. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and no outcome is implied or promised.

Before any of this, the records

A rehabilitation plan can only be written by an institution that has read your case accurately. That is where the work starts.
