Your support can help us continue to transform lives
In 2022, we were delighted to have been awarded a £500,000 grant from The Kusuma Trust, to support the development of the stem cell department at UCLH in the new Grafton Way building.
Stem cell (or bone marrow) transplants are undertaken for patients diagnosed with forms of blood cancer. The process involves replacing damaged blood cells with healthy ones. Stem cells (or transplants) can also be used to treat conditions affecting the blood cells, such as leukaemia and lymphoma and immunodeficiencies.
The bone marrow transplant and haematopoietic stem cell transplant service at UCLH is the largest transplant centre in Europe, treating over 100 patients each year. The average length of stay in hospital for an allogenic transplant is long - 39 days. The physical space in the new unit is of a very high standard, to give maximum protection and comfort to patients.
In recognition for such generous support from the Kusuma Trust, the stem cell wards on the third floor of the Grafton Way Building, are named the ‘Kusuma Stem Cell Unit’.
