Pakistani receives transplantation of cord blood hematopoietic stem cells in China

BEIJING, April 26 (APP):A 30-year-old Pakistani man successfully received a transplantation of cord blood hematopoietic stem cells provided by China Stem Cell Group at Shanghai General Hospital’s Southern Division in Songjiang district.
He was the first foreigner who used Chinese cord blood hematopoietic stem cells, a Chinese newspaper website “thepaper.cn” Thursday reported.
Since he was diagnosed with MDS, a blood disease, in 2010, he was relying on various blood transfusions to live. A transfusion dependency and further deterioration of his condition urged him to seek out medical treatment overseas.
Patients chose China for medical treatment due to its good impression and trust in Chinese medical treatment.
