AT the Bone Marrow Trans­plant Centre under the De­partment of Haematology at Yangon General Hospital, two patients with lymphoma suc­cessfully underwent bone mar­row transplant procedures in December 2025. As their con­ditions had improved and they were in good health, they were discharged from the hospital yesterday.

The two patients are a 54-year-old man from Kyimyin­dine Township in Yangon Re­gion and a 58-year-old woman from Lanmadaw Township. The bone marrow transplant procedures were carried out through the combined efforts of professors and specialist physicians from the Depart­ment of Haematology, experts from related departments, skilled nurses, and support­ing staff, working together as a multidisciplinary team.

At Yangon General Hospi­tal, bone marrow transplants were performed on three pa­tients in 2016, three in 2017, four in 2018, one in 2019, one in 2020, three in 2024, and ten patients to date in 2025, bringing the total number of patients treated to 25. It was also reported that bone mar­row transplant services will continue to be provided domes­tically to reduce healthcare costs for the public. — MNA/ MKKS
