Stem Cell Therapy - The Miracle that Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Did to a Small Girl Injured in a Shooting Accident


The medical travel to India that a small international patient undertook changed her life for ever. The following is her case.

A shooting accident resulted in bullet shrapnel piercing into the spine of a small girl. The spine injuries the girl suffered snatched away from her, the ability to walk. She suffered great agony and was in constant pain in her legs. She became totally bed ridden.

Since there was no treatment available in her country for her disability, she had to undertake a medical travel to India. It is merely through word of mouth that the girl's relatives became aware of the facilities available at our hospital and they immediately decided to seek medical treatment at our hospital. They decided to undertake a medical travel to India only because many of their compatriots too were treated at our hospital and were doing pretty well. They hold our hospital in high esteem.

The relatives sent in the girl's case report to our hospital, and the expert doctors of our neurology department suggested that the girl should undergo stem cell therapy.

Once the patient had flown down to India for her medical treatment, she was immediately admitted to the hospital, and the treating doctors conducted the necessary investigations on her. Doctors at our hospital realized that her spinal cord was pierced by more than 100 splinters from the bullet during the accident. Any surgical treatments to treat the problem is not available, or is known to be existent, during this point of time for such cases.

The treating doctors realized that the only treatment solution available to them at this point of time was stem cell therapy. Accordingly, the treating doctors performed intrathecal injection of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells on her.

Within weeks of the stem cell treatment marked changes were noted in the small girl. The girl no longer felt pain in her legs. Her condition gradually improved and she was advised physiotherapy.

In some weeks time, the girl who suffered great pain in her legs and was disabled, was able to walk on her own feet.

Stem cells therapy is an emerging medical treatment and the miracles it is worthy of creating are just but being revealed. This small girl's case is one such instance. When her relatives had lost all hopes of the girl ever being able to walk, they placed their last hope upon our hospital and stem cell therapy. Their belief in our hospital and stem cell therapy eventually paid off, and she was able to walk again!

Stem cell therapy is continuing to reveal miracles at our hospital, and this is but one of the numerous cases of patients recovering from fatal spine injuries at our hospital. The uses of stem cell therapy is multitude and our hospital continues to put it to good use, thus changing the lives of numerous of our patients.

A medical travel to India can be a life changing experience when the medical treatment is carried out at our hospital, and numerous of our international patients are bearing witness to this truth.

After six months of the treatment the girl was able to walk, but only with ample support.

After about nine to eleven months, the girl was able to walk on her own.
