Vikas Dua: The Promise of Bone Marrow Transplant in Thalassemia
Vikas Dua, Principal Director and Head of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant at Fortis Memorial Research Institute Gurugram, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“From transfusion-dependent to transfusion-free… 9 years of a beautiful new life!
Nine years ago, this brave little girl underwent a bone marrow transplant for thalassemia.
Today, she is thriving—healthy, active, chasing her dreams, and enjoying every moment of childhood without the need for blood transfusions.
Her journey is a powerful reminder that bone marrow transplantation can offer a cure for thalassemia, giving children the opportunity to live full, healthy, and independent lives.
At Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, we are privileged to be a part of such life-changing journeys and remain committed to giving every child the chance to dream, grow, and flourish.
Congratulations on 9 wonderful years of a transfusion-free life!
We wish you a future filled with happiness, good health, success, and countless reasons to smile.
Every child deserves a future beyond thalassemia.”
