In a significant development for the healthcare sector in Uttar Pradesh, King George’s Medical University (KGMU) has launched a state-of-the-art Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Ward with the support of Aditya Birla Capital Foundation (ABCF) and NGO partner CanKids. The new facility aims to provide affordable and high-quality transplant services, reducing the need for patients to travel outside the state for specialized care. The BMT Ward has been established under a tripartite agreement between KGMU, Aditya Birla Capital, and technical partners, with an initial investment of ₹2.76 crore from ABCF.
The facility is expected to benefit patients from across the region, particularly in oncology and pediatric cancer care. Aditya Birla Capital has committed an additional ₹3.25 crore for Phase II of the project, which will focus on expanding capacity and strengthening critical infrastructure to support a higher volume of bone marrow transplant procedures. The launch of the BMT Ward is a significant addition to Uttar Pradesh’s public healthcare infrastructure and is expected to set new benchmarks in making life-saving bone marrow transplants accessible and affordable.
According to Ms. Vishakha Mulye, MD & CEO of Aditya Birla Capital Limited, the company’s purpose goes beyond financial empowerment and drives inclusive growth and development in healthcare, education, and sustainable livelihoods for underserved communities. The Aditya Birla Capital Foundation serves as the apex body guiding the social development initiatives of Aditya Birla Capital and its group companies, impacting over 700,000 lives annually across 12 states, with a focus on women and girl children.
The establishment of the BMT Ward is a testament to the company’s commitment to creating a positive impact on the community. With the launch of this facility, patients in Uttar Pradesh and neighboring regions will have access to world-class medical care, reducing the need for them to travel to other states for treatment. The BMT Ward is expected to make a significant difference in the lives of patients and their families, providing them with hope and a chance to fight cancer.
