RIYADH: King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Madinah has performed the first allogeneic stem cell transplant for a patient diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
“This advanced medical step enables patients with complex blood disorders in Madinah and the surrounding areas to receive highly specialized treatment close to their families,” KFSHRC stated in a press release on Thursday.
“The achievement was made possible through the collaboration of multidisciplinary teams across the hospital, who convened from the earliest stages to establish a comprehensive plan.”
The hospital added that the procedure was a result of the collaboration “between clinical, nursing, and laboratory departments to meet the complexity of this procedure.”
These efforts ensured the patient’s stability and safe discharge following the transplant.
