The 2022 Tandem Meetings | Making stem cell transplantation more affordable for low and middle-income countries

In low and middle-income countries, cost is a major barrier to access to autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). In this video, Guillermo José Ruiz-Argüelles, MD, FRCP, Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla, Puebla, Mexico, outlines strategies to reduce the costs of these procedures, including using non-frozen cells and more affordable drugs, as well as performing SCT on an outpatient basis. This interview took place at the Transplantation & Cellular Therapy (TCT) Meetings of ASTCT™ and CIBMTR® 2022 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
