Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder in which red blood cells become sickle-shaped, leading to severe pain, frequent infections, and possible organ damage. It is a serious condition that greatly affects a child’s quality of life.
Amina Bello, a 7-year-old girl from Nigeria, had been battling sickle cell anemia since infancy. Frequent pain crises and repeated hospital visits brought fear and uncertainty into her life and deeply affected her family.
In search of a permanent solution, her family decided to go for a bone marrow transplant. While exploring treatment options abroad, they contacted BMT Clinic, a trusted medical travel assistance company.
After understanding Amina’s condition, the BMT Clinic team guided the family and arranged treatment with Dr. Vikas Dua, a renowned Hematologist and Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon. After carefully reviewing her medical reports, Dr. Dua recommended proceeding with a bone marrow transplant.
Amina traveled to India with her mother, where she underwent the transplant under Dr. Vikas Dua’s expert care. Although she experienced minor complications during recovery, her mother’s constant support, strength, and positive attitude helped her recover steadily.
Today, she is healthier and living a pain-free life, free from the daily struggles of sickle cell anemia. Her family expressed heartfelt gratitude for the care and support they received.
Her mother shared:
“Thanks to Dr. Vikas Dua and BMT Clinic, Amina’s life has changed for the better. Their care, patience, and encouragement helped us overcome every challenge.”
We sincerely wish her a happy, healthy, and pain-free future ahead.
