Article Synopsis
- Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is crucial for treating blood-related diseases, but Latin America faces challenges in access due to limited training programs for HCT professionals.
- A study by the Latin-American Bone Marrow Transplantation Group surveyed 127 HCT centers across 14 countries to analyze the state of training programs, revealing that only 39% of centers responded and most programs are lacking in quality and resources.
- Major barriers identified included insufficient funding, few transplant procedures, and a lack of qualified instructors, with proposed solutions focusing on increasing student mobility, enhancing program quality, and improving funding access.
