General Haematology
MIOT provides a comprehensive diagnostic setup for all types of general haematological problem. The unit manages severe thrombocytopenia, complex anemia and bleeding/ clotting disorder.

MIOT is the only unit in India which provides automated red cell exchange for sickle cell patients (>80) undergoing major surgery and also can treat high parasite index malarial patients. We closely work with our Neurology colleagues and provide plasma exchange with the state of the art machine. Outcomes from these procedures for complex neurological cases have been excellent with nearly 100% success rate.

Bone Marrow Transplants

Blood studies and treatments

Blood studies are crucial to the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases and medical conditions. In addition to comprehensive blood studies, the Institute also treats the entire gamut of blood and blood-related disorders – anaemias, bleeding and clotting conditions, bone marrow failure syndromes, inherited and congenital conditions and blood cancers – in both adults and children.

Bone marrow transplants

The MIOT Institute of Haematology, Haemato-oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant has successfully performed all types of bone marrow transplants – autologous, allogeneic, umbilical cord blood transplants, as well as the highly complex haploidentical transplants – across age groups, and to international standards. In autologous transplants, we use the patient’s own peripheral blood stem cells. A syngeneic transplant involves transplanting bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells from an identical twin. An allogeneic transplant is done with donor bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells that are a 100% match to the patient. These cells may come from a family member or someone who is unrelated to the patient. A bone marrow transplant can also use stem cells taken from umbilical cord blood.

Haploidentical transplant

Haploidentical Transplant

In a haploidentical transplant, we use donor cells that are at least a 50% match to the patient instead of perfectly matched cells and modulate the patient’s immune system to accept them. This means a donor can often be found in the family, among parents, children and siblings.

MIOT International is one of the few centres in the world that performs haploidentical transplants.

Diagnostic and treatment facilities on par with the best

Every specialist team at MIOT International is supported by cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment equipment. Our sophisticated laboratory facilities, ranked 8th internationally, are manned by expert specialists and technicians, including internationally trained haemato-pathologists.

State-of-art apheresis machines are used for stem cell, platelet and other component collection and also for certain therapeutic procedures. The Centre’s cryopreservation unit (processing and freezing unit) for stem cells ensures long-term storage in a completely aseptic environment. After bone marrow transplantation, patients are kept isolated in the five, dedicated, HEPA-filtered, pressure-controlled, 100% infection-free individual rooms with en-suite facilities.

Blood Bank

The MIOT Blood Bank is a state-of-the-art, 24-hour facility that offers the entire spectrum of services from blood collection to testing and component separation. Its services are organised according to functional areas, each handled by skilled and experienced staff.

Our blood bank handles over 30,000 units of blood every year, and more than 600 transfusions every month. Whole blood as well as blood components are available. Stringent practices ensure that every unit that leaves the blood bank is safe for patients.
