Article Synopsis
- Hematopoietic cell transplants are complicated and expensive, putting a lot of pressure on healthcare systems, especially in poorer countries.
- In 2017, over 4,500 transplants were done in 13 Latin American countries, but rates varied greatly, ranging from 345 in Uruguay to only 12 in Venezuela.
