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.
