Srivatsan Rangachari: Stem Cell Transplant for 12-Year-Old with Fanconi Anaemia
Srivatsan Rangachari, Chief of Resource Mobilization & Community Initiatives at KNC Trust, Program Manager, Pediatric Cardiology at Genesis Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A 12-year-old girl diagnosed with Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited blood disorder, recently underwent an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant at GKNM Hospital Coimbatore, with her three-year-old younger sister as the matched sibling donor.
The child had been experiencing a progressive decline in her blood cell counts and required repeated blood transfusions.
Detailed evaluation confirmed Fanconi anemia with bone marrow failure, necessitating stem cell transplantation.
For families facing rare and complex disorders, access to specialized treatment can also bring a significant financial burden.
We are deeply grateful to The Hans Foundation for covering the full cost of her treatment, enabling the family to access this lifesaving care without financial constraints becoming a barrier.
The child’s journey and treatment at GKNM have been featured in The Hindu, both in its print and online editions.
Such coverage helps create greater awareness about rare blood disorders and the possibilities offered by timely diagnosis, specialized care and stem cell transplantation.
Our sincere appreciation to the entire clinical team involved in her treatment and to The Hans Foundation for continuing to support children and families who need specialized care.
Every child deserves access to the right treatment, at the right time.
