The autographt of non-cryopreserved hematopoietic stem cells , an example of clinical research allowing more value in care: the experience of EHU 1st November of Oran

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell autograft (HSC) is a therapeutic technique, allowing the patient’s stem cells to be used to get around the pitfall of severe aplasia after chemotherapy. Its very high cost price made it inaccessible in many countries and in particular in Africa where there are only six countries with 16 centers compared to 679 in Europe, which represents a deficit of 98%.

In Algeria, the first cell transplant was performed in 1998 at the Algiers CPMC. The 2nd transplant center was created in 2009 at the EHU 1st November in Oran and became a national transplant center. We present in this work, the progress of the implementation of the cell transplant procedure in Oran, according to international recommendations and their adaptations according to local working conditions.
