FAQ
1. How do I know which is the right hospital for me? How do I review/assess a hospital?
Patients should check the following things before selecting a hospital:
• Is the hospital NABH or JCI certified? NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers) is an India accreditation, and JCI (Joint Commission International) is the international accreditation that promotes patient safety, by creating a standard for the quality of services provided in different hospitals in India and worldwide.
• Are the doctors in the hospitals qualified and experienced enough? It is essential for patients to select a surgeon or doctor based on their qualification rather than their fees.
• Does the hospital have a blood bank? Is your blood group available in the appropriate quantity? Most hematology treatments require blood transition which makes it is crucial for the hospital to have the patient's blood group in abundance.
• What equipment are available at the hospital? Technology plays a significant role in reducing the size of the incisions that helps in reduced blood loss and speedy recovery, making it important to ensure that patient's selected hospital is equipped with advanced technology like CyberKnife, Virotherapy, or surgical tools for performing robotic arm and minimally invasive surgery.
Patients can also check reviews of some of the best hematology hospitals in India or go through the information provided about them on our website.
2. What new technologies/medicines are being used to perform hematology procedures?
Hematologists is a highly trained healthcare professional who specializes in treating blood diseases. These might include blood disorders or dysfunction in the bone marrow cells. Hematological tests help with the diagnosis of hemophilia, anemia, infection, leukemia, and blood-clotting disorders. In the majority of these cases, the blood disease is usually a type of cancer.
New methods for curing blood cancer:
Virotherapy – is a form of an engineered virus that is used for targeting myeloma cells. Virotherapy can be divided further into three branches Oncolytic Viruses, Viral Vectors (Gene Therapy) and Viral Immunotherapy.
They all use a form of biotechnology which transforms viruses into therapeutic agents that break down and infect cancer cells without affecting the healthy cells in the patient’s body.
Rigvir – is a type of virotherapy drug that mobilizes the patient’s own defenses to attack the cancer cells. However, it is banned in several countries, so the patient should verify that before traveling with it.
T-Cell Therapy (Chimeric Antigen Receptor) – In this therapy germ-fighting T-cells of the patient are extracted and engineered to destroy cancer cells and infused back into the patient’s body.
Patients can explore other hematology treatment options from our blog.

• Experience of the hematologist who is performing the procedure. It is likely for an experience or a hematologist with a sub-specialty to charge more.
• Medicines used in the treatment. The cost of medicines used in the treatment might vary depending on the type of treatment that is being used. Rigvir and Chemotherapy medicines cost more than the medicines used for reducing symptoms caused due to surgery or radiotherapy
