Our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional medical services has established Nawaloka Hospital as the pinnacle of healthcare excellence in our nation. This, however, is a testament to our exceptional team of medical experts, fortified by their specialised training in renowned institutions such as London, which ensures that our patients receive the finest care, incorporating the latest advancements in bone marrow transplantation. Further, we understand that comprehensive care encompasses not only the physical aspects but also the emotional well-being of our patients and their families. Therefore, at Nawaloka Hospital, we prioritise the holistic support of our patients throughout their transplant journey, providing a nurturing environment that addresses their emotional needs alongside their medical requirements,” Nawaloka Holdings Chairman Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa said. 

Notably, one of the key factors that sets Nawaloka Hospital apart is its comprehensive experience in bone marrow transplants. The hospital holds the distinction of having the highest number of successful bone marrow transplant cases in the country. This accomplishment is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the hospital’s medical professionals.

At Nawaloka Hospital, patients benefit from a range of advanced transplant techniques. The hospital offers allogeneic transplants, a procedure where healthy bone marrow or stem cells from a donor are transplanted into a patient. This method allows patients to receive compatible donor cells, increasing the chances of a successful transplant.

Additionally, Nawaloka Hospital specialises in haploidentical transplants, a technique that broadens the scope of potential donors for patients. With this method, a half-matched donor, such as a family member, can provide the necessary bone marrow or stem cells, expanding the possibilities for transplant options.

Furthermore, Nawaloka Hospital has introduced HLA sequence-based typing, a cutting-edge genetic testing method. This technique aids in identifying compatible donors by analysing the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, ensuring accurate matches and enhancing the success rate of bone marrow transplants.

“In our unwavering pursuit of innovation and progress, Nawaloka Hospital is always keeping on track with advanced transplant techniques such as allogeneic transplants, haploidentical transplants, and HLA sequence-based typing procedures. These cutting-edge procedures expand the possibilities for patients, increasing compatibility and further enhancing the success rates of bone marrow transplants. By constantly pushing the boundaries of medical excellence, we remain at the forefront of providing life-saving solutions to our patients“, Nawaloka Hospitals Chairman Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa said.
