The Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit of DMCH has saved the lives of all its blood cancer patients in the last one year. In fact, a zero mortality rate in the first year of such programme is rare in any developing country. The key role player behind the success is Bimalangshu Ranjan Dey. The treatment of this disease at DMCH is at par with international standards but at a much lower cost.

We urge the government to come forward to support Mr. Dey so that he can expand his noble initiative to establish a laboratory where cancer patients and bone marrow donors could get registered.
