About The Hospital
The idea of AIIMS arose in 1946, after a recommendation by the Health Survey of the Government of India. From then to the establishment and development of AIIMS (New Delhi) over the ensuing years, several illustrious individuals played their part in bringing the idea to fruition. Originally proposed by the then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru for establishment in Calcutta, it was established in New Delhi following the refusal of Chief Minister of West Bengal Bidhan Chandra Roy.[3] The foundation stone of AIIMS Delhi was laid in 1952.[4]
On February 18, 1956, the then Minister of Health, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, introduced a new bill in the Lok Sabha, that would eventually become the AIIMS Act. “It has been one of my cherished dreams that for post graduate study and for the maintenance of high standards of medical education in our country, we should have an institute of this nature which would enable our young men and women to have their post graduate education in their own country,” she said.[5] The old and new main OPD blocks at AIIMS, New Delhi are named after her. When the bill was adopted in May 1956, it became the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956.[4] She also gave about 100 acres of land for construction.

Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue found inside the bones of the body. It is responsible for producing and housing various types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.There are two types of bone marrow:Red marrow: Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones, such as the hip bones, breastbone, skull, ribs, and vertebrae. It is responsible for producing red blood cells, platelets, and some types of white blood cells.Yellow marrow: Yellow marrow is found in the central cavities of long bones, such as the femur and humerus. It consists mainly of fat cells and serves as a storage site for fats. However, in certain situations, such as severe blood loss or certain diseases, yellow marrow can be converted back to red marrow to produce more blood cells.The process of blood cell production in the bone marrow is called hematopoiesis. It involves the differentiation and maturation of stem cells into specific types of blood cells. Red blood cells transport oxygen, white blood cells help in fighting infections, and platelets are involved in blood clotting.In addition to blood cell production, the bone marrow is also a vital part of the immune system. It contains immune cells, such as lymphocytes, which play a crucial role in the body's defense against infections and diseases.Bone marrow transplantation, also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is a procedure in which healthy stem cells are introduced into the bloodstream to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow. This procedure is commonly used to treat certain cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, as well as other conditions like severe aplastic anemia and immune system disorders.Bone marrow donation can come from two sources:Autologous transplantation: In this case, the patient's own bone marrow or stem cells are collected, stored, and later infused back into their body after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatments. This method allows the patient to receive their own cells and reduces the risk of rejection.Allogeneic transplantation: Here, the donor is a compatible individual, typically a sibling or an unrelated donor whose tissue type matches the recipient's. The donor's bone marrow or stem cells are collected and then infused into the patient's bloodstream.Bone marrow transplantation is a complex procedure that requires specialized medical expertise and careful matching of donor and recipient. It carries potential risks and complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic transplants, infections, and side effects from conditioning treatments.If you are interested in bone marrow donation or require further information about bone marrow transplantation, I would recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or reaching out to organizations that specialize in this area, such as bone marrow registries or transplant centers.
