New Delhi, India, November 22, (GPRC): Save the Sibling is a concept-oriented unique package of services that will be offered as a set for the first time in the region, if not the world.The number of children with Rare Genetic Disorders is not an unspecified phenomenon.Many of them can survive maximally before the age of 18 with support, but proper health is largely not guaranteed.As a socially and economically able adult, stem cell preservation and transplantation is the only available avenue for prevention and long-term disease-free survival.
The implementation of this approach is beset by a slew of obstacles, including the availability and procurement of appropriate normal stem cells, a proper cryopreservation center for the stem cells, a competent and highly skilled transplantation specialist with equipment, and lastly, the prohibitive price tag.The Save the Sibling project provides the services of world-class conceptualization and availability of matched, normal stem cells by means of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and screening (PGDS), collection processing, and cryopreservation of the stem cells collected from Cord Blood, followed by the generation of viable and potent Stem Cells, and finally transplantation using cryopreserved HSCs.All this under a single commitment of service with near-total financial reimbursement of a previously considered package.Save the Sibling (after all, saving the Sibling) really means having a completely disease-free family with two normal children with minimal financial burden.Renew Healthcare is the IVF + PGDS partner, Cordlife Sciences India Pvt. In Kolkata, West Bengal, the Save the Siblings initiative was launched.Dr. Rajeev Agarwal, the Medical Director of Renew Healthcare, Dr. Prosanto Chowdhury, the Technical Director of Cordlife Sciences India Pvt.Ltd., Dr. Joydeep Chakrabortty, the HOD and Sr.Consultant, Haemato-Oncology & Transplantation-HCG EKO Cancer Center-Past District Governor
