Zuberi N., an 8-year-old child from Botswana, had been battling Sickle Cell Anemia since early childhood. Frequent pain episodes, repeated hospital visits, and health complications had begun to affect his daily life and overall growth. Concerned about his long-term health, his parents started exploring advanced treatment options outside their home country.

They connected with our BMT Clinic team for guidance, after which Zuberi’s medical reports were reviewed in detail. A video consultation was arranged with Dr. Vikas Dua, an experienced bone marrow transplant specialist in India, who carefully assessed the case and recommended a half-matched bone marrow transplant as the most suitable treatment option. His father was identified as the donor, making the procedure feasible and timely.

The family traveled to India together and stayed for nearly six months to complete the treatment and recovery process. During this time, they received continuous medical care, close monitoring, and complete support with hospital coordination, accommodation, and daily needs, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free stay.

The transplant was performed successfully, and he responded positively to the treatment. Over time, his condition improved steadily, and signs of better health and strength became clearly visible.

His parents expressed deep gratitude by saying:

“ We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the medical team and support staff for their compassionate care, clear communication, and constant guidance throughout our journey.” 

Today, he is on a strong path to recovery, and his family looks forward to a healthier and brighter future for him.
